How to Connect the Monitor, Keyboard, and
Mouse
After you unpack your new computer, you may need help with its
setup. Your computer comes with a
monitor,
keyboard, and
mouse. You should connect these items before you
turn on your new computer.
Your computer will offer several types of connection ports,
but
USBports are becoming the most common. Wireless
keyboards and mouses use a small transmitter that you insert into a USB port,
for example.
Use the following table in conjunction with the figure to identify
device-to-PC connector ports.
