USB devices
The computer has four USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 ports (rear and left panel)
that allow you to connect peripherals without occupying too many resources. USB
2.0 is the second generation USB standard that allows faster transfer rates and is
also backward-compatible with USB 1.1 devices. Common USB devices include a
mouse, keyboard, and digital camera.
Before disconnecting a USB device from your computer, click on the Safely
Remove Hardware icon on the taskbar and click on the device. When the device
can be safely removed, disconnect the device from the computer. See your
peripheral's documentation for details.
