Attaching an External Numeric Keypad or a Mouse

Warning:

When you connect a mouse other

than IBM PS/2 Miniature Mouse,

turn off the computer.

An external numeric keypad or a mouse can be attached directly to

the connector on the right side of the computer. You can use both

the IBM PS/2 Mouse and TrackPoint III as a pointing device. The

PS/2 Mouse is plugged into the external input device connector of

the computer and functions normally when the TrackPoint III is not

actually moving the cursor.

Note:

You can remove the keypad cover

1 and use it as a stand for the

keypad.

If you want to use the external numeric keypad and mouse at the

same time, first connect the keypad cable to the computer; then

connect the mouse cable 2 to the connector at the rear of the

keypad.
