8. Connecting a Mouse
Connecting a PS/2 mouse
You can connect a PS/2 standard-compliant mouse (PS/2 mouse) to your computer through
the Expanded Keyboard/Mouse port.
1.
Turn off the computer or put it into standby mode.
2.
Connect a mouse.
Plug the mouse cable in the Expanded Keyboard/Mouse port, with the arrow-engraved surface
of the connector faced down.
(The illustration varies depending on the model and use conditions.)
IMPORTANT
• For serial mice, there is no guarantee that the mouse pointer will move correctly.
Expanded Keyboard/Mouse port
Critical Point
Connecting a PS/2 mouse automatically disables the Flat Point.
To use a mouse concurrently with the Flat Point or to enable or disable the Hot Plug feature,
you need to modify settings under “Keyboard/Mouse Settings” of the BIOS Setup window.
If you are using a mouse with a scroll function, don’t disconnect it when the computer is in
operation.
To use a mouse with multiple functions, including a scroll function, you may need to install
the driver designed specifically for it. In such a case, delete “Alps pointing device driver (Alps
Glide Point)” and switch to the standard PS/2 mouse driver before installing the driver for the
mouse you want to use.
Installing a mouse driver without switching to the standard PS/2 mouse driver may cause
trouble.
