USB Ports (1.1 & 2.0)
Universal Serial Bus (USB) supports many USB compatible devices such as keyboards, pointing de-
vices, video cameras, modems, hard disk drives, printers, monitors, and scanners connected in a series
up to 12Mbits/sec (USB 1.1) and 480Mbits/sec (USB 2.0). USB allows many devices to run simulta-
neously on a single computer, with peripherals such as USB keyboards and some newer monitors
acting as additional plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that peripherals can
be connected or disconnected without restarting the computer.
