Using a USB device

A USB port connects an optional external device, such as a USB keyboard, mouse, drive, printer,
scanner, or hub, to the computer or to an optional expansion product.

Some USB devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the device.
For more information about device-specific software, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.

The computer has 3 USB ports, which support USB 1.0, USB 1.1, and USB 2.0 devices. To add more
USB ports, connect an optional hub or optional expansion product.

Connecting a USB device

CAUTION:

To prevent damage to a USB connector, use minimal force to connect a USB device.

To connect a USB device to the computer, connect the USB cable for the device to the USB
port.

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

NOTE:

The first time you connect a USB device, the "Installing device driver software" message is

displayed in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.
