Chapter 3. Using external devices

Your computer has many built-in features and connection capabilities.

Attention:

Do not connect or disconnect any external device cables other than USB and 1394 cables while the computer power is on; otherwise, you might damage your computer. To avoid possible damage to attached devices, wait at least five seconds after the computer is shut down to disconnect external devices.

Connecting a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device------

Your computer comes with four Universal Serial Bus compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as a keyboard, mouse, camera, hard disk drive, printer, and scanner. USB allows devices to be connected and disconnected without rebooting the computer (hot swapping), and allows specific classes of hardware to be used without requiring individual device drivers to be installed.
