About the I/O Connectors
You can connect external devices to the input/output (I/O) connectors on the back and left side of the computer (see Figure 1). The computer's
basic input/output system (BIOS) detects the presence of the external devices when you boot (start) or reboot your computer.

Mouse, Keyboard, and External Numeric Keypad
You can attach a Personal System (PS)/2-compatible device such as a mouse, 101- or 102-key keyboard, or external numeric keypad to the mini-
DIN PS/2 connector.
Mouse
When you attach a PS/2 mouse to the computer, the touch pad is automatically disabled. If you disconnect the mouse, you must shut down the
computer or enter suspend or standby mode and then resume from it before the touch pad is operational. If you do not do this, the touch pad
resumes operation in standard PS/2 mode, which means that many of the configuration features are disabled.
If you are using a PS/2-compatible mouse that is not made by Microsoft and the mouse does not work properly, reboot the computer. If the mouse
still does not work, install the drivers from the diskette that came with the mouse and reboot the computer.

NOTE: Some external devices require you to load software called device drivers into system memory before using the devices. These
device drivers help your computer recognize the external device and direct its operation. Instructions for installing this software are
usually included in the upgrade kits.

NOTE: If the computer is in suspend (or standby) or suspend-to-disk (S2D) mode when you attach a mouse, you can use the mouse
when the computer resumes normal operation. However, programs that were already running may need to be restarted to recognize the
mouse. If the computer is not in suspend (or standby) or S2D mode when you attach the mouse, you must reboot the computer to use
the mouse.
