NOTE: If the computer is in suspend mode or suspend-to-disk mode when you attach an external
keyboard, the device is recognized immediately by the computer when it resumes normal operation.

You can use the computer's keyboard and an external keyboard at the same time. When you attach a
keyboard to the computer, the embedded numeric keypad is automatically disabled.

On an external keyboard, the key acts the same way as the key on the computer’s
keyboard (if the External Hot Key option is enabled in the System Setup program).

You can also connect an external keyboard to the C/Port Family APR or the C/Dock Family Expansion
Station.
