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, to the computer or to an optional expansion
product. A hub provides additional USB ports for the system and can be
connected to the computer or to another hub.
Connecting a USB device
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the USB connectors, use minimal force to
connect a USB device.
To connect a USB device to the computer, connect the USB cable of
the device to the USB port. The operating system will issue a sound to
indicate that a device has been connected.
NOTE: The first time you connect a USB device, the "Found New Hardware"
message is displayed in the notification area, at the far right of the taskbar.
Stopping a USB device
CAUTION: To prevent loss of information or an unresponsive system, stop
the USB device before removing it.
To stop a USB device:
1. Double-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the notification
area, at the far right of the taskbar.
2. Click the USB device listing.
