CONNECTING THE MOUSE AND KEYBOARD

The first items you connect should be your mouse and keyboard. Most mice connect to a dedicated mouse port on your system unit. Most keyboards connect to a similar dedicated keyboard port on your system unit. Know, however, that many new mice and keyboards also connect via USB ports, so you should use whatever connection is appropriate.

Connect the green mouse cable to the green mouse port on the back of your system unit.

TIP

Connect by Color

Most PC manufacturers color-code the cables and connectors to make the connection even easier-just plug the blue cable into the blue connector and so on.
