Using a USB device
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a hardware interface that can be used to connect an optional external
device, such as a USB keyboard, mouse, drive, printer, scanner, or hub.
Some USB devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the device.
For more information about device-specific software, refer to the manufacturer's instructions. These
instructions may be provided with the software, on disc, or on the manufacturer’s Web site.
The computer has 3 USB ports that support USB 1.0, USB 1.1, and USB 2.0 devices. Two of the USB
ports on the right side of the computer are standard USB ports. The other USB port on the right side of
the computer is a powered USB port. A powered USB port provides power to an external device if used
with a powered USB cable.
An optional docking device, optional expansion product, or a USB hub provide additional USB ports that
can be used with the computer.
