Hardware Installation
Connecting a PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse
Your DA-683 embedded computer comes with a PS/2 mini-DIN connector to connect to a PS/2 keyboard and
PS/2 mouse by using a Y-type cable. This 6-pin mini-DIN connector has the pin assignments shown below.

Use the Y-type cable to convert the mini-DIN connector into two 6-pin mini-DIN connectors to connect both a
PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse at the same time. (The Y-type cable is not included in the accessory package.
It should be purchased separately. You may also use the USB ports to connect your USB-based keyboard and
mouse.)
ATTENTION
Please note that without the Y-type cable, the PS/2 connector on the DA-683 can only work with a PS/2
keyboard. A PS/2 mouse will not function when directly connected to the PS/2 connector on the DA-683
embedded computer.
