External Device Connections

USB Device

USB is a hardware interface that can be used to connect external devices such as a USB keyboard, mouse, drive, printer, scanner, or hub to the tablet PC or an optional Docking Station.

A USB device functions in the system in the same way as a comparable non-USB device. The USB connectors support USB 2.0- or 1.1-compliant devices.

A USB hub is a connecting device that can be powered or unpowered. USB hubs can be connected to a USB connector on the tablet PC or on an optional Docking Station or to other USB devices. Hubs support varying numbers of USB devices and are used to increase the number of USB devices in the system.

■Powered hubs must be connected to external power.

■Unpowered hubs must be connected either to a USB connector on the tablet PC or to a port on a powered hub.

Some USB devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the device. For software information about a specific device, refer to the documentation included with the device.
