Using a USB device

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a hardware interface that can be used to connect an optional external device, such as a USB keyboard, mouse, drive, printer, scanner, or hub, to the computer. A hub provides additional USB ports for the system and can be connected to the computer or to another hub.

The computer has 2 standard USB ports on the left side of the computer. A third USB port on the right side of the computer is available on select models only. The USB ports on the computer support USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices.

Connecting a USB device

CAUTION To prevent damage to the USB connectors, use minimal force to connect a USB device.

To connect a USB device to the computer, connect the USB cable of the device to the USB port. The operating system will issue a sound to indicate that a device has been connected.

NOTE The first time you connect a USB device, the "Installing device driver software" message is displayed in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.
