When connecting the PS/2 keyboard ensure the computer is off, if the keyboard is a USB keyboard the computer can be off or on during the installation.
Connecting cables
PS/2 Keyboard
Connect the keyboard to the PS/2 port on the back of the computer. Today most computers use a PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse. Ensure when connecting the keyboard that you connect it to the correct connection. Most computers have colour-coded connections. If the computer has colour ports the mouse generally connects to the purple connection.
Tip: If you are confused which PS/2 cable is which, generally the PS/2 cable is thicker then a PS/2 mouse cable.
USB Keyboard
Connect the USB keyboard to the USB ports on the back or front of your computer or if you are using a USB port hub connect the mouse to the hub.
Install Software / Drivers
If your keyboard has any special features such as a built on touch pad or special buttons for these features to work properly the software and/or drivers for the keyboard must be installed after the computer keyboard has been connected to the computer.
