Getting Started
Setting up your computer
Connecting an external USB mouse
You may want to use a mouse instead of the computer's built-
in pointing device, the AccuPoint II. You can attach an
external mouse to one of the computer's USB ports, provided
the mouse is USB-compatible.
Connecting an external USB keyboard
You can attach an external standard keyboard to a USB port
on your computer, provided the keyboard is USB-compatible.
NOTE: The emulation Fn key is not supported when using a USB
keyboard.
Connecting a printer
You can connect a local printer to your computer.
Your computer has USB connectivity. Connecting a printer
with a parallel or serial interface requires a port replicator.
See
"Using a printer with the Advanced Port Replicator" on
page
108.
If the printer has a USB interface, you can connect it directly
to the computer.
You also need a USB cable, which may come with your
printer. Alternatively, your organization may keep a stock of
cables; consult your network administrator. Otherwise, you
can purchase one from a computer or electronics store.
