Attaching an External Keyboard

You can connect an external keyboard to your computer through the

keyboard/mouse connector (separately available as an option).

Note:

The computer enters suspend mode

when the LCD is closed. If you

want to use the computer with the

LCD closed, set the suspend option

in the ThinkPad Features program

so the computer does not enter

suspend mode when the LCD is

closed.

The external keyboard must be connected through the

keyboard/mouse connector. It will not work if it is connected directly

to the computer.

The external numeric keypad and the numeric keypad on the

system keyboard cannot be used when the external keyboard is

used.
