The Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface provides asynchronous/isochronous data transfers with compatible peripherals such as keyboards, printers, or modems. This high-speed interface supports hot-plugging of compatible devices, making possible system configuration changes without powering down or even rebooting systems.

All models provide six USB ports; four rear-mounted ports and two ports accessible in the front. The system dynamically makes the port-to-controller configuration based on the bandwidth demands of the connected USB peripheral devices.
