DA-710 Series HW User’s Manual Hardware Installation
Connecting a PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse
Your DA-710 embedded computer comes with a PS/2 mini-DIN connector to connect to a PS/2
keyboard and PS/2 mouse. This 6-pin mini-DIN connector has the pin assignments shown below.
PS/2
Pin No. Signal Definition
1 PS/2 Keyboard Data
2 PS/2 Mouse Data
3 GND
4 VCC
5 PS/2 Keyboard Clock
6 PS/2 Mouse Clock
Use a Y-type cable to convert the mini-DIN connector into two 6-pin mini-DIN connectors in
order to simultaneously connect both a PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse.
Please note that without the Y-type cable, the PS/2 connector on the DA-710 series can only
work with a PS/2 keyboard. A PS/2 mouse will not function when directly connected to the
PS/2 connector on the DA-710 series.
