USB Ports
USB 3.0 Port
USB (Universal Serial Bus) compatible ports are for low-speed peripherals such as
keyboards, mice or scanners, and for high-speed peripherals such as external HDDs, digital
video cameras or high-speed scanners etc. Devices can be plugged into the computer, and
unplugged from the computer, without the need to turn the system off (if the power rating of your
USB device is 500mA or above, make sure you use the power supply which comes with the
device).
USB 3.0 ports on the computer are denoted by their
blue color
. USB 3.0 will transfer data much
faster than USB 2.0, and is backwards-compatible with USB 2.0. The combined e-SATA/USB 2.0
port functions as a USB 2.0 compatible port.
Note: The powered USB 3.0 port (see
) may be toggled on /off by
means of the Fn + Power Button key combination (press for around 1 to 2 seconds to toggle).
When the powered USB port is on it will supply power (for charging devices only, not for oper-
ating devices) when the system is off but still powered by the AC/DC adapter plugged into a work-
ing outlet, or powered by the battery with a capacity level above 20% (this may not work with
certain devices - see page
).
Note: This function is designed to help charge USB compliant devices, but is not designed to
allow their operation.
