USB Devices

Using USB Devices

To use a USB device:
»
Plug the device into one of the USB ports on your notebook.
USB hubs can be connected to a USB port on the notebook or
on an optional docking device. Hubs can support several USB
devices.
Powered hubs must be connected to external power.
Unpowered hubs must be connected either to a USB port
on the notebook or to a port on a powered hub.

Operating System and Software

A USB device functions in the same way as a comparable
non-USB device, with one exception. By default, USB devices
do not function unless an operating system that supports USB
is installed in the notebook.
Some USB devices may require additional support software,
which is usually included with the device. For more information
and software installation instructions, refer to the documentation
included with the device.
