Connecting an External Mouse or Keyboard

VAIO Notebook User Guide

Connecting an External Mouse or Keyboard

You can connect an external mouse or keyboard to the optional port replicator

using a PS/2-style plug or adapter.

✍Before you connect or disconnect the mouse or keyboard, turn off the computer.

You can only connect one external device at a time. Therefore, it is impossible to connect both a PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard simultaneously.

To connect an external mouse or keyboard

❑Locate the mouse/keyboard connector on the port replicator identified by the

/ symbols.

❑Plug the mouse or the keyboard cable into this connector with the arrow facing up.

✍See the manual that came with your mouse or keyboard for more information on its installation and use.
