16. USB, Infrared, PS/2 Mouse Module Connector (18-1 pin USB/MIR)

If you want to use USB or infrared (IrDA) devices, you need to purchase an exter-
nal connector set. Otherwise, a PS/2 mouse connector is provided with the parallel
connector. The external connector set, which also includes a PS/2 mouse connec-
tor, connects to the 18-pin block and mounts to an open slot on your computer’s
chassis. The system will direct IRQ12 to the PS/2 mouse if one is detected. If not
detected, expansion cards can use IRQ12. See “PS/2 Mouse Control” in BIOS
Features Setup
and “USB Function” in PnP and PCI Setup of BIOS SETUP. See
IrDA-Compliant... connector for details on the infrared connector.

Chipset Features Setup to select whether UART2 is directed for use with COM2
or IrDA. Use the five pins as shown on the Back View and connect a ribbon cable
from the module to the motherboard according to the pin definitions.
