Connecting a trackball or other input device

Your server has an Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) port, which you use to connect
the mouse, the keyboard, and other input devices such as a trackball, a bar-code
reader, or a graphics tablet.

You can usually connect up to three ADB devices in a chain to a single port. The
exact number depends on how much power the devices require.

IMPORTANT

The total power used by all ADB devices connected to your

server must not exceed 500 milliamperes (mA). Information about the power
requirements of the mouse and keyboard are in the Technical Information
booklet that came with your server. Check the information that came with
your other ADB device for power requirements.

Connecting a microphone

Your server has a sound input port, which you can use to connect a microphone.

IMPORTANT

The Workgroup Server 9150 is not designed for use with

speech recognition programs—do not use the Apple PlainTalk Microphone
with this server.
