2.To add keyboards, complete the following fields:

•System Port Number – Enter the port number of the keyboard’s connection to the MegaPower CPU. The MegaPower CPU can support up to 128 keyboards using port expansion modules. Port expansion modules convert a single port into four ports. When a port expansion module is connected to a port, port numbering adds an alpha character (a, b, c, d) to each port number; for example, port one becomes ports 1a, 1b, 1c, 1d; port two becomes ports 2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, and so on.

•Expansion Port – Choose the port on the port expansion module (if the MegaPower CPU is so equipped) that the keyboard will connect to. The choices are a, b, c, or d.

•Name – Enter a name for the keyboard using alpha or numeric characters.
