Connecting Usb Cables - Gateway FPD2475W User Manual

Connecting USB cables

Your monitor has a built-in, four-port USB 2.0 hub that lets you conveniently connect USB devices.
Because your computer case may be under your desk or inside a cabinet, these monitor-mounted
USB ports can be much easier to access.
To use the monitor's USB ports, you must first connect the monitor to a USB port on your computer.
Because the USB hub uses power from the monitor, it does not require its own power connection.

CHAPTER 1: Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor
Important
The built-in USB 2.0 hub provides only low-speed connections if its USB in port
is connected to a USB 1.1 port on your computer or on a USB hub.
Tip
Use the USB 2.0 ports on the back of the monitor for connecting USB devices
you want to keep connected most of the time, such as a keyboard, a mouse, or a
printer. Use the USB 2.0 ports on the side of the monitor for connecting USB devices
that are frequently disconnected, such as cameras, flash drives, and USB hard drives.
Connect the included USB cable to the USB in ("B" type) port on the back of your monitor,
then connect the other end of the cable to a USB 2.0 port on your computer.
Connect any USB device to one of the available USB 2.0 ports on the left side or back of the
monitor.
