Using a mouse
If you prefer, you can use a mouse instead of the computer’s built-
in pointing device–the AccuPoint II. You can use a PS/2-
compatible mouse, a serial mouse or a USB mouse.
TECHNICAL NOTE: A serial mouse disables the
AccuPoint II. With a PS/2 mouse, you can choose to have
the AccuPoint II active at the same time.
Connecting a serial mouse
To connect a serial mouse, connect the mouse cable to the serial
port at the back of the computer. Once connected, the mouse is
ready to use.
Refer to your mouse documentation for configuration information.
Connecting a USB mouse
To connect a USB mouse, connect the mouse cable to the USB
port on the computer. Once connected, the mouse is ready to use.
Connecting a PS/2 mouse
CAUTION: Make sure the computer is off before you attach
the mouse. Connecting a PS/2 mouse with the computer’s
power on can damage the mouse, the computer, or both.
If you are connecting a mouse after you have started using the
computer, begin at step 1. Otherwise proceed to step 2.
