Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 Ports
The High-Definition Multimedia Interface
(HDMI) port is a digital audio/video interface
over which uncompressed streams can be
transmitted. HDMI is used to connect compatible
digital devices with your computer (such as big-
screen TVs and high-end digital cameras and
video recorders).
To connect an HDMI device:
1Align the connector with the port opening.
2Push the connector into the port until it is seated.

The five Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 ports allow you to
connect USB devices such as game pads, pointing devices,
keyboards and speakers. There is one USB 2.0 port on the
right side, and four on the rear panel. (Figure 38).
USB 2.0 is downward-compatible with USB 1.1 devices,
so older USB devices will work with these ports. USB 2.0
is a much faster design, running forty times faster than USB
1.1. To connect a USB device follow these steps:
1Align the connector with the port opening.
2Push the connector into the port until it is seated.
