Connect a PS/2 keyboard to the purple 6-pin mini DIN connector. If
you want to connect a standard AT size (large DIN) connector, you
must use an adapter.
Universal Serial Bus Ports
You can connect two USB devices or USB hubs to the USB ports.
The USB ports provide a hardware interface for low-speed peripher-
als such as the keyboard, mo use, joystick, scanner, printer and
telephony devices, and also support MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 digital
video. The USB ports have a maximum bandwidth of 12 Mbits/sec
(equivalent to 1.5 Mbytes/sec), and up to 127 devices can be a t-
tached. Fast devices can use the full bandwidth, while lower-speed
ones can transfer data using a 1.5 Mbits/sec sub-channel.
Parallel Port
Connect a printer or other parallel device to the burgundy-colored 25-pin
parallel port. You can set the parallel port IRQ and parallel port mode in
BIOS. Refer to Integrated Peripherals in Chapter 4 for details.
