Board Installation
Note: Only TYAN cables will work on this motherboard. If you are
using an existing case with old cables, your system may not function
properly. Use only TYAN-approved cables.
Connecting the USB and PS/2 ports.
This board includes ports for USB, PS/2 mouse, and PS/2 keyboard
devices. The location of these ports is shown in Figure 6 above. Note
that, for this board, the PS/2 mouse port is the upper PS/2 port, and the
PS/2 keyboard port is the lower PS/2 port.
The PS/2 connectors are probably quite familiar to you. The USB
connectors, however, may be foreign. The USB (Universal Serial Bus)
is a versatile port. This one port type can function as a serial, parallel,
mouse, keyboard, or joystick port. It is fast enough to support video
transfer, and is capable of supporting up to 127 daisy-chained periph-
eral devices. Close-ups of the USB connector, as well as of the USB
and PS/2 ports, are on the following page.
