36 Evo D310 Micro Desktop
USB 2.0 Connectors
The Compaq Evo D310 Micro Desktop features 6 USB 2.0 connectors (4 rear and 2 front).
USB 2.0 extends the speed of the connection from 12 Mbps on USB 1.1 to 480 Mbps on USB 2.0,
providing an attachment point for next-generation peripherals for use with higher performance PCs and
user applications. USB 2.0 is both forwards and backwards compatible with USB 1.1 and uses the same
cables and connectors as USB 1.1. Externally USB 2.0 system looks no different from a USB 1.1 system.
USB 1.1's data rate of 12 Mbps is sufficient for many PC peripherals. These peripherals will continue to
operate with no change in USB 2.0 systems. The higher bandwidth of USB 2.0 permits the use of PC
peripherals with wider functionality. The higher bandwidth supports the most demanding PC user
applications, where multiple high-speed peripherals are running simultaneously. When using a USB hub
it is important to make sure that you use a USB 2.0 compliant hub.
USB 2.0 drivers are not preloaded on the software image, they can be downloaded from HP’s Support
