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. These
instructions may be provided with the software, on disc, or on the manufacturer’s Web site.
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.
One of the USB ports is a powered port, located on the right side of the computer. This port provides
power to a USB device, such as an optional external MultiBay or an optional external optical drive.
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.
You will hear a sound when the device has been detected.
NOTE: The first time you connect a USB device, a message is displayed in the notification area to let
you know the device is recognized by the computer.
