PPC-A84/A120 User's Manual
2.4.2 PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse
The PPC-A84/A120 provides two PS/2 connectors that support a PS/2
style keyboard and a PS/2 mouse. In most cases, especially in embed-
ded applications, a keyboard is not used. The standard PC/AT BIOS
will report an error or failure during power-on self-test (POST) after a
reset if the keyboard is not present. The BIOS standard setup menu
allows you to select* "All , But Keyboard" under the "Halt On"
selection. This allows no-keyboard operation in embedded system
applications without the system halting under POST. Note that the
mouse port on the PPC-A84/A120 is a PS/2 mouse port.
* Note: "All, But keyboard" is the default setting.
2.4.3 Mic-in, line-in, speaker out
