Basically, you connect a PS/2 mouse and keyboard during those times you wish to work outside of the OS. This only applies if your motherboard does not have native support for USB devices. To see if your board does have this support, you'll need to enter the BIOS and lok through the USB options for 'Legacy support'. If you see that option, turn it on, save the changes and reboot. You should then have access to your USB input devices within Acronis, even outside of Windows.
