User’s Manual

Figure 2-12. CX6 back panel connectors

Figure 2-12 shows the CX6 back panel connectors, these connectors are for connection to
outside devices to the motherboard. We will describe which devices will attach to these
connectors below.

KM1 Lower: PS/2 Keyboard Connector

Attach a PS/2 keyboard connector to this 6-
pin Din-connector. If you use an AT
keyboard, you can go to a computer store to
purchase an AT to ATX converter adapter,

then you can connect your AT keyboard to this connector. We suggest you use a PS/2
keyboard for best compatibility.

KM1 Upper: PS/2 Mouse Connector

Attach a PS/2 mouse to this 6-pin Din-
connector.

USB Port Connectors

This motherboard provides two USB ports.
Attach the USB connector from the
individual device to these connectors. You
can attach USB devices such as a, scanner,
monitor, mouse, keyboard, hub, CD-ROM,

joystick etc. to one of each USB connector. You must make sure your operating system
supports this feature and you may need to install an additional driver for individual devices.
Please refer to your device user’s manual for detailed information.
