2.8.1 PS/2 Mouse and PS/2 Keyboard Ports
PS/2 Mouse
PS/2 Keyboard
The system board is equipped with an onboard PS/2 mouse
(Green) and PS/2 keyboard (Purple) por ts - both at location CN2
of the ATX double deck ports of the system board. The PS/2
mouse por t uses IRQ12. If a mouse is not connected to this por t,
the system will reserve IRQ12 for other expansion cards.
The Wake-On-Keyboard/Wake-On-Mouse function allows you to use
the keyboard or PS/2 mouse to power-on the system. Refer to
“Jumper Settings for Wake-On-Keyboard/Wake-On-Mouse” in this
chapter and “Keyboard/Mouse Power On” (“Onboard Super IO
Device” field) in the Integrated Peripherals section in chapter 3 for
more information.
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.
