Guidelines for Connecting External Devices
• Turn off power to the system and external devices before attaching a new
external device. Turn on any external devices before turning on the system
(unless the documentation for the device specifies otherwise).
• Ensure that the appropriate driver for the attached device has been
installed on the system.
• If necessary, to enable ports on your system, use the System Setup
program. See "Using the System Setup Program and UEFI Boot Manager"
on page 51.
