1-9.4 PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse Interface
PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors are located on the back panel of the
motherboard. The +5 V lines to keyboard and mouse connectors are
protected with a fuse that prevents motherboard components from being
damaged when an over-current condition occurs.
Note
The mouse and keyboard can be plugged into either PS/2 connector.
Power to the computer should be turned off before a keyboard or mouse is
connected or disconnected.
The keyboard controller contains code, which provides the traditional
keyboard and mouse control functions, and also supports Power On/Reset
password protection. Power On/Reset password can be specified in the
BIOS Setup program.
The keyboard controller also supports the hot-key sequence
<Ctrl><Alt><Del>, software reset. This key sequence resets the
computer’s software by jumping to the beginning of the BIOS code and
running the Power On Self Test (POST).

be used.) The IR connection can be used to transfer files to or from
portable devices like laptops, PDAs, and printers. The Infrared Data
