Connecting peripheral devices
Connecting a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device
You can connect a USB device (for example, a mouse, floppy disk drive, keyboard, printer) to your computer.
USB devices are hot plug and play devices. You do not need to shut down your computer prior to connecting these devices unless
the manual supplied with the device states otherwise.
For some USB devices you need to install the software before you connect the device. Not following this procedure might cause the
device not to work properly. For more information, check the manual provided with the USB device.
When you are playing a DVD (video or audio) and you want to remove a USB device, such as USB-compatible speakers, make sure
you stop the DVD first. Removing a USB-compatible device during DVD (video or audio) playback may cause a malfunction.
To prevent your computer and/or USB devices from damage, observe the following:
When moving your computer with USB devices connected, avoid any shock or force to the USB connectors.
Do not put your computer into a bag or carrying case when it has USB devices connected.
