PS/2 mouse
Use the PS/2 mouse/keyboard port on the computer or optional NetDock
Port Replicator to connect a PS/2 mouse.
Make sure the mouse has a cable with a 6-pin connector for the PS/2
mouse port. If the mouse’s cable is not compatible, see your dealer for an
adaptor cable.
How the computer treats the connection to a PS/2 mouse depends on the
setting for Pointing Devices under the PERIPHERAL options in the
Setup program. If Simultaneous is selected, you can operate both the
AccuPoint II and the PS/2 mouse. If Auto Selected is chosen, the
AccuPoint II is disabled when a PS/2 mouse is connected.
To connect a PS/2 mouse:
1. Turn the computer off.
2. Connect the PS/2 mouse to the PS/2 mouse/keyboard port on the
computer or the mouse port on the NetDock Port Replicator or
Expansion Station, pressing gently to assure a firm connection.
3. Turn on the computer.
To disconnect the mouse, turn off the computer and pull out the mouse
connector.
Consult your mouse manual for instructions on how to install
necessary software.
PS/2 keyboard

Port Replicator to connect a PS/2 keyboard. When an external keyboard

1. Turn the computer off.
2. Plug the PS/2 keyboard connector into the PS/2 mouse/keyboard port
on the computer or the keyboard port on the optional NetDock Port
Replicator or Expansion Station, pressing gently to assure a
