5.2 Using the USB Port
USB or Universal Serial Port is a peripheral bus standard developed by Compaq,
DE C, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NEC and Northern Telecom. Personal computers
equipped with USB will allow computer peripherals to automatically configure as
soon as they are physically attached - without the need to reboot or run setup.
USB will also allow multiple devices to run simultaneously on a computer, with
peripherals such as floppy drive, mouse, digital cameras, scanners, printers, CD-
ROM drives, modems, keyboards, games devices and acting as additional plug-in
sites, or hubs.
 Depending on your operational requirements, you may need to disable
other ports in order to release system resource for the USB port.
5.3 Using an External Keyboard (PS/2)
At the right side of your computer, you will find the 6-pin mini-DIN PS/2
keyboard and mouse port. This port allows you to connect an external full-sized
PS/2 desktop keyboard as well as an external PS/2 mouse. If you want to use
both the external PS/2 mouse and keyboard, you would need to buy a PS/2 Y -
cable.
