Universal Serial Bus Port; Driver Support - Asus L7 User Manual

Universal Serial Bus Port

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a peripheral bus standard developed by PC and telecommunication indus-
try leaders that will bring plug and play of computer peripherals outside the system, eliminating the need
to install internal expansion cards and drivers.
The Notebook PC is equipped with one USB port, which uses a shielded receptacle connector. This
allows computer peripherals to be automatically configured as soon as they are physically attached,
without the need to reboot or run setup. USB will also allow up to 127 devices to run simultaneously on
a single computer, with peripherals such as monitors and keyboards acting as additional plug-in sites, or
hubs.
The Notebook PC's built-in USB host controller initiates data transfer at a full-speed of 12Mbps for
digital cameras and a low-speed of 1.5Mbps for keyboards and mice. The host also manages the logical
connection of devices.

Driver Support

The Windows 98 operating system comes already equipped with a standard driver that allows your
Notebook PC to recognize USB peripherals. However, new peripheral products may need software driver
upgrades. Contact an authorized dealer for more information.
