USB 2.0/1.1 Ports
USB 3.0 Port
These USB 2.0 compatible ports (USB 2.0 is fully USB 1.1 compliant) are for low-speed
peripherals such as keyboards, mice or scanners, and for high-speed peripherals such as
external HDDs, digital video cameras or high-speed scanners etc. Devices can be plugged into
the computer, and unplugged from the computer, without the need to turn the system off (if the
power rating of your USB device is 500mA or above, make sure you use the power supply which
comes with the device).
The USB 3.0 ports are denoted by their blue color
; USB 2.0 ports are colored black. USB
3.0 will transfer data much faster than USB 2.0, and is backwards-compatible with USB 2.0.
Note that the USB 3.0 port requires a driver installation (see
) and does
not support wake on USB.
*
Note: The powered USB 2.0 port (see
“System Map: Right View” on page 1 - 13
) may be
toggled on /off by means of the Fn + Power Button key combination. When the powered USB port
is on it will supply power when the system is off but still powered by the AC/DC adapter plugged
into a working outlet, or powered by the battery with a capacity level above 20% (this may not work
with certain devices - see page
Note: This function is designed to help charge USB compliant devices, but is not designed to
allow their operation.
