USB Keyboard

[DrJoel]

I just purchased a Dell Dimension E510 which comes with both a USB
Keyboard and Mouse. If the USB drivers are loaded after boot, how do I
get into BIOS if necessary? Thanks.

Use a regular keyboard, enter the setup utility (BIOS is what people call it
and we'll not get into that now) and change to legacy USB support. It might
be enabled already.

It better be enabled because there are no PS2 jacks.

I don't know if it helps at all but I always keep a USB keyboard about
especially if some arrangement prevents a wireless keyboard from being
effective.

This rather simple approach has been so helpful at mission critical time

Then ask Dell directly. They are the ones who made your PC.

if there is no PS2 then the USB keyb. support logically will be enabled in
the bios

Of course this is Dell. Logic does not apply.
