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, to the computer or to an
optional expansion product. A hub provides additional USB ports for the system and can be
connected to the computer or to another hub.
The computer has 2 standard USB ports on the left side of the computer. A third USB port on the
right side of the computer is available on select models only. An optional expansion product provides
additional USB ports that can be used with the computer. The USB ports on the computer support
USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices.
Connecting a USB device
CAUTION To prevent damage to the USB connectors, use minimal force to connect a USB
device.
To connect a USB device to the computer, connect the USB cable of the device to the USB port. The
operating system will issue a sound to indicate that a device has been connected.
NOTE The first time you connect a USB device, the "Found New Hardware" message is
displayed in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.
