These USB ports are for low-speed peripherals such as keyboards, mice or scanners, and for
high-speed peripherals such as external HDDs, digital video cameras or high-speed scanners
etc. Devices can be plugged into the computer, and unplugged from the computer, without the
need to turn the system off (if the power rating of your USB device is 500mA or above, make sure
you use the power supply which comes with the device).
The USB 3.0 ports capable of 5Gbps (SuperSpeed) are classified as USB 3.1 Gen 1. There are
three USB 3.1 Gen 1 (Type A) ports on this computer model. In addition there are two USB 3.1
Gen 2 ports (Type C) capable of 10Gbps SuperSpeed+. Type C ports are the smaller sized
USB ports, and the larger USB Type A ports are denoted by their blue color.
Note: The powered USB 3.0 port may be toggled on /off by means of the Fn + Power Button
key combination. When the powered USB port is on it will supply power (for charging devices
only, not for operating devices) when the system is off but still powered by the AC/DC adapter
plugged into a working outlet, or powered by the battery with a capacity level above 20% (this
may not work with certain devices - see page 7 - 11). Toggle power to this port by using Fn +
power button.
Note: This function is designed to help charge USB compliant devices, but is not designed to
allow their operation.
Note: The maximum amount of current supplied by USB Type-C ports is 500 mA for USB2.0/900
mA for USB 3.1
