Using a USB device

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a hardware interface that can be used to connect an optional external
device, such as a USB keyboard, mouse, drive, printer, scanner, or hub.

Some USB devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the device.
For more information about device-specific software, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

Your computer has 3 USB ports that support USB 1.0, USB 1.1, and USB 2.0 devices. You can also
add an optional docking device or USB hub to provide additional USB ports for use with your computer.

Connecting a USB device

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to a USB connector, use minimal force to connect a USB device.

To connect a USB device to the computer, connect the USB cable for the device to the USB port.

Once the USB device has been detected, an icon is placed on the desktop.
