You can attach an external Key-
board to the (PS/2) port. If you
don’t have a 6-pin Keyboard con-
nector, use a 5-to-6 pin adapter
cable. The system automatically
detects and enables the external
Keyboard as well as the notebook’s.
However, for those functions re-
quiring the
Fn
key, you will still
need to use the notebook’s Key-
board.
This port can only accept one type
of device configuration per system
session. For example, if you connect
a PS/2 mouse to this port, you can-
not connect a Keyboard to the port
during the same system session.
Doing so will cause a system con-
flict. If you already have a mouse
attached, and want to use a Key-
board instead, you must shut down
and restart the system. However,
you can detach and reconnect the
same device during a system ses-
sion.
