Getting Started
Setting up your computer
Connecting a mouse
You may want to use a mouse or trackball instead of the
computer’s built-in TouchPad. Your notebook computer supports
USB and PS/2-compatible pointing devices.
The TouchPad
®
can remain operable, even if you connect a
secondary pointing device to the computer. For more information,
see “Toshiba Hardware Setup” on page 172.
Using a USB mouse
1 Connect the mouse cable to the USB port.
2 Install the vendor supplied software that came with the
mouse, if needed.
Using a PS/2 mouse
The system cannot detect a PS/2 mouse if you connect it after
starting the computer.
NOTE: If you connect a PS/2 mouse to the computer while it
is in Standby mode, you will not be able to use the mouse
when you turn the computer on.
CAUTION: When connecting any PS/2 device, turn off your
computer to prevent any possible hardware damage.
1 Attach the PS/2 mouse cable to the PS/2 port.
2 Refer to your mouse documentation for configuration steps.
