Replacing the keyboard and the mouse
To replace the keyboard:
1. Remove any media (disks, CDs, or memory cards) from the drives, shut down
your operating system, and turn off the computer and all attached devices.
2. Unplug all power cords from electrical outlets.
3. Locate the connector for the keyboard. Refer to “Locating connectors on the
rear of the computer” and “Locating connectors on the front of the computer”.
Note: Your keyboard will be connected to the USB connector at either the
front or the rear of the computer.
4. Disconnect the failing keyboard cable from the computer and connect the new
keyboard cable to the same connector.
5. The mouse can be replaced using the same method.
Completing the installation
After replacing the parts, you need to close the computer cover and reconnect
cables, including telephone lines and power cords. Also, depending on the part
that was replaced, you might need to confirm the updated information in the Setup
Utility program. Refer to “Starting the Setup Utility” in the Hardware Maintenance
Manual.
To complete the part installation:
1. Ensure that all components have been reassembled correctly and that no tools
or loose screws are left inside your computer. Refer to “Locating components”,
“Front view of the chassis” and “Rear view of the chassis” for the location of the
various components.
2. Make sure that the cables are routed correctly before replacing the computer
cover.
