Connecting Your Keyboard via PS/2

   Round 6-pin PS/2 Port.  Important:  Always turn off your computer before connecting or disconnecting your keyboard.

   Turn off your computer and all attached devices

   Locate the Round 6-pin PS/2 keyboard port

   Disconnect and remove any keyboard now attached to the computer.

   Attach the keyboard connector to the PS/2 keyboard port on your computer.  Care needs to be taken as the 

      orientation of the connector is important.  The connector pins on a PS/2 port can be easily damaged.

   Restart the computer.

Connecting Your Keyboard via USB

   Shut down your computer.

How are you set up? Determine which applies to you:

Laptop with a Docking Station:

If you are using a laptop through a Docking Station, please be sure to connect the keyboard directly into an available USB 

SRUWRQWKHFRPSXWHULWVHOIWKHÀUVWWLPH2QFH\RXKDYHIROORZHGWKHLQVWUXFWLRQVEHORZ\RXFDQFRQQHFWWKHNH\ERDUG

through the Docking Station for use.

Multiple computers via KVM switch:

If you are connecting two or more computers through a KVM switch, be sure to install the keyboard onto each computer 
that will be used before connecting it to the KVM switch. A KVM switch will not allow the drivers to install automatically; 

WKHUHIRUHLWLVQHFHVVDU\WRFRQQHFWWKHNH\ERDUGGLUHFWO\LQWRHDFKFRPSXWHUIRUSURSHULQVWDOODWLRQWKHÀUVWWLPH%HVXUH

that your KVM switch is for USB devices, not PS/2.

Desktop or Laptop with limited USB input ports:

Determine the number of available USB ports on your computer. You may want to add a USB Hub or port expander to 
accommodate multiple devices like mice, printers, keyboards, numeric keypads, PDA’s, etc.
