Using an External Keyboard
If you prefer to use a standard desktop keyboard, you can attach
one to your computer. The computer's PS/2 mouse/keyboard port
supports any PS/2-compatible keyboard. Toshiba makes two
external keyboards specifically designed to work with your com-
puter. One is a standard 101 key external keyboard. The other is a
multimedia keyboard equipped with stereo speakers and audio
connectors. For more information, contact your dealer.
You can only connect one PS/2 device at a time (unless you
purchase a special Y-cable to allow you to connect both
simultaneously). If you're already using a PS/2 mouse, you
must turn the computer off and remove the mouse before
connecting a PS/2 keyboard.
Connecting the Keyboard
To connect an external keyboard, follow these steps:
1 Turn the computer off.
Make sure the computer is off before you attach the keyboard.
Connecting a keyboard with the computer's power on may
damage the keyboard, the computer or both.
