3.2 Installation of the keyboard
3.2.1 System requirements
The MC family keyboard has been developed for use with IBM-AT-compatible PS/2 and USB systems. The keyboard can be used with all common
operating systems.
3.2.2 USB cable installation
In order to provide problem-free operation of the keyboard using USB, it must be insured that the USB interface is
supported by the operating system. This is the case for Windows 98SE and later, as well as Linux with a kernel version of
2.4.18 or higher.
In addition, insure that USB legacy support is activated in the BIOS of your system.
Please see the description of your motherboard for instructions regarding the BIOS settings.
The operating systems Windows 95, Windows NT and Windows 98 do not support the USB interface, or do so only partially.
Problem-free operation is not insured in these cases.
Procedure
• If a keyboard is already connected to the computer, please remove it.
•
Now insert the USB plug of the keyboard cable into an available USB socket.
•
Now restart your system or switch it on. Certain drivers may be automatically installed by the operating system. The keyboard is then ready for
use.
