Stopping a USB device

ÄCAUTION: To prevent loss of information or an unresponsive system, stop a USB device before removing it.

2.Click the USB device listing.

✎To display the Safely Remove Hardware icon, click Show Hidden Icons in the notification area.

Required USB Software

A USB device functions in the same way as a comparable non-USB device, with one exception. By default, USB devices do not function unless an operating system that supports USB is installed in the computer.

Some USB devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the device. For more information and software installation instructions, refer to the user guides included with the device.

Connecting a 1394 Device

IEEE 1394 is a hardware interface that can be used to connect a high-speed multimedia or storage device to the computer. Scanners, digital cameras, and digital camcorders often require a 1394 connection.

You may have to load device-specific drivers and other software before using some 1394 devices. For information about device-specific software, refer to the device user guides or to the Web site of the device manufacturer or provider.
