To use the Keypad Configuration Utility, connect an IBM AT
standard keyboard and mouse with PS/2 connectors to the 6180
computer. If you are using the front panel connectors, you must
install jumper cables as shown below. These jumpers route the
keyboard and mouse ports from the processor board to the front
panel connectors. Make sure the correct ports are used.

Alternatively, the mouse and keyboard can plug into the side panel
mouse and keyboard ports. When connected to the side panel ports,
it does not matter if the keyboard and mouse cables are interchanged,
the 6180 computer will automatically detect them. Refer to the 6180
computer user manual for additional information.

The Keyboard Interface Controller (KIC) has a keyboard connector.
If you use the side panel connectors, the KIC keyboard port is
disabled.
