9 Connecting the Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse
Introduction
The PS/2 compatible keyboard and mouse connectors as well as the connection for the monitor are
mounted on the rear panel of the server. The keyboard, mouse, and monitor should be plugged in
before powering up the HP Server rx4610. The BIOS detects these peripherals and configures them
accordingly.
Figure 9-1. Rear Panel Ports
Use this procedure to connect the peripheral control devices and monitor to the
HP Server:
CAUTION The Keyboard and Mouse ports are both PS/2 ports, but are not interchangeable.
If you plug the keyboard into the Mouse port, or the mouse into the Keyboard
port, you will get an error message and the system will not finish the boot process.
1. Connect the monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the HP Server using the connections provided on
the rear of the chassis. See Figure 9-1.
