Connecting USB cables
Your monitor has a built-in, four-port USB 2.0 hub that lets you conveniently
connect USB devices. Because your computer case may be under your desk or
inside a cabinet, these monitor-mounted USB ports can be much easier to
access.
To use the monitor’s USB ports, you must first connect the monitor to a USB port
on your computer. Because the USB hub uses power from the monitor, it does
not require its own power connection.

Important
The built-in USB 2.0 hub provides only
low-speed connections if its USB in port
is connected to a USB 1.1 port on your
computer or on a USB hub.

monitor for connecting USB devices that
