Connecting USB Equipment

The notebook comes equipped with two USB 2.0 compliant connectors that support USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices.

The notebook supports certain USB devices without special drivers. These devices include hubs and keyboards. To connect USB devices for which the device manufacturer does not provide special drivers, you need an operating system with USB support, such as Windows 2000 Professional or Windows XP Professional, preinstalled by Compaq.

A USB keyboard and mouse, optionally connected through a hub, offer the same functionality as a standard keyboard and mouse connected through the keyboard, mouse, or single keyboard/mouse connector.
