Using an external keyboard or pointing device
To use an external keyboard or pointing device:
1. Simply connect the keyboard or pointing device to the PS2
port on the back panel. You do not need to power down your
VIPER before connecting or disconnecting these devices
when using the PS2 ports on the back panel as shown in
Figure 3-30.

NOTE
: OpenBoot (the "ok" prompt) can only recognize a
single keyboard. It will select a USB keyboard by default, if
one is present when the system first powers up. Solaris does
not have this limitation, and can use a USB keyboard, PS/2
keyboard, or the internal keyboard, even at the same time.
