Using Peripheral Devices

USB Devices

USB ports allow you to connect USB-equipped peripheral devices such as a digital camera, scanner, printer, CD-ROM drive, modem, mouse, keyboard, telephone, or game device to your notebook.

USB devices called USB hubs can serve as connection ports for other USB peripherals. Only one device needs to be plugged into your notebook. Additional peripherals can be connected in a daisy chain configuration where one device is connected to another in a series.

Note

Some USB devices draw their power from the notebook power system, thereby reducing battery life. Always connect your notebook to an AC power source before connecting these devices.

Connect an external USB device to your notebook as follows.

1.Locate any of the USB ports on your notebook.

2.Follow any specific set-up instructions in the device's user's guide.

Note

USB devices can be hot-swapped or plugged, meaning that you do not need to turn off your notebook before plugging or removing USB devices.

3. Plug the USB device into one of the USB ports.

Note

Refer to the device's documentation for any additional instructions, if supplied.
