Set up your PS/2 device

Setting up your PS/2 mouse or trackball includes connecting the device and installing the IntelliPoint software.


Important—When using a PS/2 port, always turn off the computer before you connect or disconnect your device.

To connect your device

  1. Turn off your computer.
  2. If you have a pointing device with a USB-to-PS/2 adapter that you want to connect to your computer's PS/2 port, attach the USB-to-PS/2 adapter by plugging the USB (rectangular) connector into the rectangular end of the adapter.
  3. Locate the round 6-pin (PS/2) mouse port on the back of your computer.
  4. Plug the round 6-pin (PS/2) mouse-port connector into the mouse port.

Note

The IntelliEye optical sensor works best on surfaces with texture, for example, white paper, laminated desktops, wood, and synthetic wood. Glass or shiny surfaces, for example, mirrors or glossy white paper, may prevent the IntelliEye optical sensor from working correctly. In these instances, try a mouse pad, piece of paper, or other textured surface.

To install the IntelliPoint software

  1. Turn on your computer.
  2. Insert the Microsoft IntelliPoint Setup compact disc into your CD-ROM drive, and then follow the Setup Wizard instructions on your screen. If the Setup Wizard does not appear, complete steps 3û4.
  3. Click the Start button, and then click Run.
  4. Type <drive>:setup. For example, if your CD-ROM drive is drive E, type e:setup.
  5. Follow the Setup Wizard instructions on your screen.
