External keyboard and keypad

This computer has a keyboard with full-sized keys and an embedded keypad. If you feel more comfortable using a desktop keyboard, you can install a PS/2- compatible external keyboard.

To connect an external keyboard, plug the external keyboard into the PS/2 connector.

You can also use a 17-key numeric keypad for number-sensitive data-entry applications. To connect the keypad, plug the keypad connector into the PS/2 port.
