Connecting a universal serial bus (USB) device

Your computer comes with three USB ports compatible with USB devices.
The USB ports on this computer are recessed to prevent dust accumulation.
When purchasing a USB device to use with this computer, pay attention to
the dimensions of its USB plug.*

* As shown in the illustration, if the height and width of the part

enclosing the metal connector are greater than 8mm and 16mm
respectively, the plug might not be fully inserted into the USB
ports on this computer. In this case, the USB device might not be
recognized for use with this computer.

„

Connecting a Bluetooth enabled device (select models only)

If your computer has an integrated Bluetooth adapter card, it can connect to
and transfer data wirelessly to other Bluetooth enabled devices, such as
notebook computers, PDAs and cell phones. You can transfer data between
these devices without cables at up to 10 meters range in open space.

Note:

When using a high power consumption USB device such as USB ODD, use
the external device’s power adapter. Otherwise, the device may not be
recognized, and system shut down may result.

Note:

The actual maximum range may vary due to interference and transmission
barriers. To get the best possible connection speed, place the device as near
your computer as possible.
