time. Do not attempt to use a USB hub attached to the USB port.
•
Per the USB 2.0 specification, the maximum available power is 5V @ 0.5A. Some USB
devices may exceed this requirement, in which case the device may not function or may
function erratically. Check the documentation for your USB device to be sure.

systems.
