Connecting USB devices

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a serial bus design that is capable of cascading peripherals such as a digital camera, keyboard, mouse, joystick, scanner, printer and modem. With USB, complex cable connections can be eliminated.

Your computer comes with eight USB ports: four on the front and another four on the rear panel. These ports support USB 2.0 high- performance external devices such as webcams and digital still cameras. They also allow you to connect additional USB devices to your computer without using up its system resources.

To connect a USB device, simply plug the device cable into any of the

USB ports (black port).

Note: Some USB devices have a built-in USB port which allows you to connect or daisy-chain more USB devices.
