Depending on the selected equipment level, your workstation will be supplied with a standard
keyboard or a USB keyboard.

Plug the other end of the keyboard cable (square plug) into the socket on the underside of the
keyboard.
Ê
Plug the round keyboard cable connector into the port marked with this symbol
on the
system unit.
Connecting USB keyboard

keyboard.

Insert the rectangular USB plug of the keyboard cable into the USB port
on the system
unit.
Connecting the mouse
Ê

i
If you do not attach a mouse at the PS/2 mouse port, you can disable the mouse
controller in the
BIOS Setup
in order to free the IRQ12 for a different application.
Connecting devices with a serial or a parallel connection
Ê
Connect the data cable to the external device.
Ê
Connect the data cable of the external device to the appropriate port on the workstation.
i
Most devices that you connect to the serial or parallel port require special drivers. Your
operating system already includes many drivers. But if the driver you need is not on the
hard disk please install it from the floppy disk or CD (supplied with the device or with the
application programme).
If you need to change the settings of the serial or parallel port (e.g. address, interrupt),
you can do so in the
BIOS Setup
. The possible settings for the interfaces are described in
the Technical Manual for the system board or in the "BIOS Setup" manual.
