4 Connecting and Installing Optional Devices
After you connect the external pointing device, turn
3.
your laptop on. Although both the external pointing
device and the TouchPad should be functional, use only
one pointing device at a time to avoid device conflicts.
Note: When using an external mouse, we suggest that you disable the
TouchPad to avoid conflict. To disable the TouchPad, press Fn+T.

Connecting an External Keyboard

To make typing more convenient, you can attach a full-size
external Windows 95 compatible keyboard to your SA200.
Follow these instructions to connect an external keyboard:
Locate the PS/2 (Mini-DIN) port located at the rear of
1.
the laptop. Refer to Figure 3 on page 7.
Carefully align the pins of the PS/2 port with the
2.
external keyboard plug and connect the two. Note that
some keyboards have an AT-style keyboard connector.
If your keyboard has this type of connector, use an AT-
to-PS/2 keyboard adapter.
Although both the embedded keyboard and the external
3.
keyboard will function, do not use them both at the same
time.

Connecting an External Monitor

Follow these instructions to connect an external monitor (also
known as a CRT):
Connect the monitor's 15-pin female analog connector
