Apple Setting Up Your Power Macintosh G4 (PCI & AGP) - Manual (Page 17)

Connecting the Mouse and the Keyboard to the Computer
The Macintosh has ports that allow you to connect a USB keyboard and mouse. (For more
information about USB devices and connections, see the electronic documentation that
came with your computer.)
1 Plug the keyboard cable into one of the USB ports ( ) on the back of the computer.
Plugging the keyboard cable directly into one of the computer’s USB ports allows you to use
the power (
®) button on the keyboard to turn the computer on and off. If you plug the
keyboard cable into a USB port on a monitor or another device, the power button won’t do
this.
If you’re using a USB monitor, check the documentation that came with it to learn if the
monitor works as a self-powered or bus-powered USB hub, and what devices you can
connect to it.
2 Plug the Apple USB mouse cable into one of the ports on the Apple USB keyboard.
You can plug the mouse into a USB port on a monitor or other device, but it’s best to plug it
into a port on the Apple USB keyboard.
Plug in the mouse on the side where it’s comfortable for you.
