Using an External Keyboard, Keypad, or Mouse: Dell™ Inspiron™ 7500
You can connect a keyboard with a standard connector to the PS/2 connector on the computer by using an adapter available from Dell. You can
use the integrated keyboard even when an external keyboard is attached to the computer. You can also connect a USB keyboard to the computer's
USB connector.
Attach a PS/2 mouse to the PS/2-compatible connector on the computer or a USB-compatible mouse to the USB connector. If you attach a USB
mouse to the computer, you do not need to reboot the computer in order to use the mouse. The touch pad device drivers that Dell installed on your
hard-disk drive work with a PS/2 mouse, serial mouse, or USB mouse from Dell.
If you did not receive your mouse from Dell, you may need to install device drivers separately to use the mouse. This software is usually included
with mouse installation kits.
NOTES: If you are using a PS/2 mouse that is not Microsoft-compatible and the mouse does not work properly, reboot the computer. If the
mouse still does not work, install the drivers from the diskette that came with the mouse, and reboot the computer.
