peripheral devices that are connected to the computer.
10 Press the power button to start the computer.

Using an external keyboard
If you prefer to use a full-size keyboard, you can attach one to your
computer. The computer's PS/2 mouse/keyboard port supports
any PS/2-compatible keyboard.
CAUTION: Make sure the computer is off before you attach
the external keyboard. Connecting an external keyboard with
the computer' s power on can damage the external keyboard,
the computer, or both.
You can only connect one PS/2 device at a time, unless you use an
optional Y-cable. Connecting a Y-cable to the computer's PS/2
port allows you to connect a PS/2-compatible mouse and a PS/2-
compatible keyboard simultaneously.
Alternatively, you can connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the
USB ports.
