Do not connect or disconnect any external device cables other than USB and
1394 cables while the computer power is on; otherwise, you might damage
your computer. To avoid possible damage to attached devices, wait at least

Connecting a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device - - - - -
Your computer comes with three Universal Serial Bus compatible with USB 2.0
or USB 1.1
devices such as a keyboard, mouse, camera, hard disk drive, printer,
and scanner. USB
allows devices to be connected and disconnected without
rebooting the computer

to be used without requiring
individual device drivers to be installed.
