2.9.2 PS/2 Mouse and PS/2 Keyboard Ports
The system board is equipped with an
onboard PS/2 mouse (Green) and PS/2
keyboard (Purple) ports - both at
location J1 of the ATX double deck
ports. The PS/2 mouse port uses
IRQ12. If a mouse is not connected to
this port, the system will reserve
IRQ12 for other expansion cards.
Warning:
Make sure to turn off your
computer prior to connecting or
disconnecting a mouse or
keyboard. Failure to do so may
damage the system board.
2.9.3 Parallel Port
The system board has a standard
printer port (CN2 - Burgundy) located
at the ATX double deck ports of the
board for interfacing your PC to a
parallel printer. It supports SPP, ECP
and EPP modes. You can set the ports
mode in the Integrated Peripherals
submenu of the BIOS.
