CHAPTER 1: Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor
6
Connecting USB cables
Your monitor has a built-in, four-port USB 2.0 hub that lets you conveniently connect USB devices.
Because your computer case may be under your desk or inside a cabinet, these monitor-mounted
USB ports can be much easier to access.
To use the monitor’s USB ports, you must first connect the monitor to a USB port on your
computer. Because the USB hub uses power from the monitor, it does not require its own power
connection.
To connect USB cables:
1 Connect the included USB cable to the USB in (“B” type) port on the back of your monitor,
then connect the other end of the cable to a USB 2.0 port on your computer.
2 Connect any USB device to one of the available USB 2.0 ports on the left side or back of
the monitor.
Important
The built-in USB 2.0 hub provides only low-speed connections if its USB in
port is connected to a USB 1.1 port on your computer or on a USB hub.
Tip
Use the USB 2.0 ports on the back of the monitor for connecting USB devices
you want to keep connected most of the time, such as a keyboard, a mouse, or
a printer. Use the USB 2.0 ports on the side of the monitor for connecting USB
devices that are frequently disconnected, such as cameras, flash drives, and USB
hard drives.
