1.2Connecting Your Mouse

Your mouse connects to either a PS/2 (or 6 pin MiniDIN) mouse port or a 9 pin serial port. To verify your connectors, locate the port on the back of your computer that is designated for your mouse. Most PCs will have the word MOUSE marked next to the PS/2 connector. Older PCs will have either Serial 1 (and up) or COM 1 (and up) for the serial connector. If you are still unsure, please refer to your hardware manual.

6 pin MiniDIN 9 pin Serial

For PS/2 mouse port installation, simply remove the serial adapter before connecting the mouse cable to the computer.

b.Plug your mouse into the appropriate port suggested above. Check the box in which your mouse was shipped to verify the ports supported.
