Internal Trackball (250-3545) Install Faxback Doc. # 2252 Safety Warning! Whenever you open up your system, you expose the components to the possibility of electrostatic hazards. Below are some precautions to reduce this hazard: 1) Do not carry out installations in areas which are known to have electro static problems, for example, some kinds of carpets and rugs are prone to electrostatic build-up. 2) Handle new cards and components as little as possible, and hold all circuit boards by the edges. 3) Remain in the work area until the installation is complete and the system has been closed up. 4) Finally, and most important, do not attempt to do any kind of work to the system's interior until all power supplies have been switched off & cables disconnected. Don't forget to remove the internal battery. ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │Trackball Installation on Systems Without the Internal Modem Card:│ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ 1) Remove the outer and inner cover of the expansion compartment. 2) A 4-pin to 14-pin cable is included with your trackball.

Notes: 1) The mouse driver, included in your system's Support Diskette, should be installed to make the trackball functional. The following is the "Read Me" file on the 4800/4860 Utility Diskette. This file provides detailed instructions on how to install the mouse driver. Installing the Mouse Driver The mouse driver will support 2-button and 3-button mice, and also the Notebook trackball. For portable systems which use an LCD, there is an enhanced cursor option which will enlarge the mouse pointer. Execute the Install file by keying in "Install". The program will suggest placing the mouse files in a "Mouse" directory on your hard disk. The program then offers several options: 1. View the README file 2. Install the mouse Driver and Tutorial 3. Setup automatic Mouse Support 4. Run the mouse Tutorial 5. Quit the Mouse Installation Option 2 will copy the mouse files to your hard disk. Option 3 will copy the files, and also amend your AUTOEXEC.BAT file so that the mouse driver is loaded each time the system is powered on. 2) Keep the inner cover in case you need to remove the trackball in the future.
