Why are you "installing a new keyboard? Just plug it in.....

What if it's plugless?

Well now, that's up to the OP to tell us, isn't it?

You've provided no information that would allow us to help you. I'm going to
look into my admittedly cloudy Crystal Ball(tm) and guess that you are
trying to install a wireless keyboard. If this is correct, attach a regular
wired keyboard - either ps/2 or usb* - and install the software for the
wireless keyboard. After the software is installed, you can remove the
wired keyboard and replace it with the wireless one. If you use a ps/2
keyboard (the small round connector), make sure to shut down the computer
when connecting/disconnecting it.

*Please don't waste everyone's time by coming back and saying that you don't
have an extra keyboard. Borrow one or buy one. You can get a standard
keyboard for under $15.

If the Crystal Ball(tm) was incorrect, post back with better details per one
or more of these:
