USB 3.0 Port
Powered USB 3.0 Port
USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 compatible ports (USB 2.0 is fully USB 1.1 compliant) 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).

faster than USB 2.0, and is backwards-compatible with USB 2.0. The USB 3.0 ports require a
driver installation (see

onds to toggle). When the powered USB port is on it will supply power (for charging devices
