Keyboard
C.3 Connectors
Two types of keyboard interfaces may be used in HP/Compaq systems: PS/2-type and USB-type.
System units that provide a PS/2 connector will ship with a PS/2-type keyboard but may also
support simultaneous connection of a USB keyboard. Systems that do not provide a PS/2
interface will ship with a USB keyboard. For a detailed description of the PS/2 and USB
interfaces refer to Chapter 5 “Input/Output” of this guide. The keyboard cable connectors and
their pinouts are described in the following figures:
