USB devices

Your computer features three USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 ports for connecting a range of USB peripherals. See “External input devices” on page 41 and “Printer” on page 44 for information on connecting a USB keyboard, keypad, mouse or printer. Other common USB devices include digital cameras, scanners, and external storage devices.

USB is plug and play, which means that you can connect and start using a USB device without having to restart your computer. You can also dis- connect the device at any time.

An added advantage of USB is the ability to use USB hubs. This means that several devices can share a USB port simultaneously.
