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.

Some USB devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the
device. For more information about device-specific software, see the manufacturer's instructions.
These instructions may be provided with the software, on disc, or on the manufacturer’s website.

The computer has at least 1 USB port that supports USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, or 3.0 devices. Your computer
may also have a USB charging port that provides power to an external device. An optional docking
device or USB hub provides additional USB ports that can be used with the computer.

Connecting a USB device

CAUTION:

To reduce the risk of damage to a USB connector, use minimal force to connect the

device.

Connect the USB cable for the device to the USB port.

NOTE:

The following illustration may look slightly different than your computer.

You will hear a sound when the device has been detected.

NOTE:

The first time you connect a USB device, a message in the notification area, at the far right

of the taskbar, lets you know that the device is recognized by the computer.
