USB 2.0 connectors

Use the back, rear-dual USB connectors for devices that typically

 

 

(2) (rear dual)

remain connected, such as printers and keyboards.

 

 

 

NOTE: It is recommended that you use the front USB connectors

 

 

 

for devices that you connect occasionally, such as joysticks,

 

 

 

cameras, or bootable USB devices.
