Chapter 1 – Setting Up Your Genesis MP
Genesis MP

◆
If you wish to place your Genesis MP on the floor and have purchased a non-Genesis
MP keyboard, be sure that the keyboard and video cables that you use will be long
enough to reach the floor. If you need a longer cable or an extender, you can contact
Global at 800-845-6225, Inmac at 800-547-5444 or your DayStar Authorized Reseller.
You have a choice of several keyboards to use with your Genesis MP—some have a
separate cable and others have a built-in cable.
Note: Some monitors have a port for your keyboard or mouse. If you wish to use this
feature, see the specific documentation that came with your monitor.
Connecting a keyboard with a built-in cable.
• The plug and port are marked with the
icon or symbol. A port marked with
this icon is called an Apple Desktop Bus (ADB) port. Plug the keyboard cable
into the ADB port at the back of your Genesis MP. Match the symbols before
you insert the plug.
• Plug your mouse into the keyboard. If your keyboard has more than one ADB
port, you have a choice where to plug in the mouse. Match the symbols before
you insert the plug.
Connecting a keyboard with a separate cable.
• The plug and the ADB port are both marked with the same
icon. Match the
symbols before you insert the plug.
• Now you can plug the keyboard cable into the other port on the keyboard.
Match the symbols before you insert the plug.
If you plugged the mouse cable in on the right, then you will plug the keyboard cable
in on the left. Both ends of the cable are the same.
• Plug the keyboard cable into the ADB port marked with the
icon on the
back of your Genesis MP.
CAUTION
Be sure not to connect or disconnect the keyboard or mouse cables while your Genesis
MP is turned on. This can cause damage.
