Connecting a Keyboard

Required cables/
connectors

Keyboards almost always have a built-in cable.
Most keyboards today have a PS/2 connector
and can connect directly to the PS/2 port on
the DockMate or on the computer.

Older keyboards have larger connectors, which
require a PS/2 adapter.

Connecting to a
DockMate

Each DockMate model has two PS/2 ports —
one for a keyboard and one for a pointing
device. You should connect the keyboard to the
PS/2 port on the side of the DockMate.

Connecting directly
to computer

The computer has one PS/2 port. Connect an
external keyboard to this port.
