Connecting an ADB input device

Your computer has an Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) port, which connects the
mouse and the keyboard to your computer. You can add other input devices,
such as a bar-code reader, graphics tablet or joystick.

The ADB port is marked with the V icon.

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

Before you attach or remove an ADB device, turn off the computer. Attaching
or removing an ADB device while the computer is turned on could damage
the ADB device or your computer.

IMPORTANT

The total power used by all ADB devices connected to your

computer must not exceed 500 milliamperes (mA). Before attaching another
ADB device, check the Technical Information booklet that came with your
computer and the information that came with the ADB device for
power requirements.
