Using the USB port

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a new type of serial interface that serves as a
single-port alternative to connecting devices that traditionally have required
their own specific ports, such as mice, joysticks, keyboards, scanners, video
cameras, and speakers.
To use, connect the USB-compatible peripheral into the USB port (see
"Using the USB port" on page 31). The USB automatically installs and
configures the necessary drivers and the system resources.
