Connecting the Keyboard and Mouse

Connecting a keyboard and mouse to your PC

Keyboard

An AT style keyboard connector
A PS/2 style keyboard connector

Determine the type of keyboard you have and its associated socket. Your Motherboard manual will instruct you on its proper connection. As previously encountered with PC connections, these are 'keyed'. Do not force the connector or the pins may break.

Mouse

Serial mouse connector
PS/2 mouse connector

Determine the type of mouse you have and its associated socket. Your Motherboard manual will instruct you on its proper connection. Again, these are 'keyed'. Some care in connection is required.
