or else damage will occur to the Notebook PC.
USB Port (2.0/1.1)

as keyboards, pointing devices, cameras, hard disk drives, printers, and scanners connected
in a series up to 12Mbits/sec (USB 1.1) and 480Mbits/sec (USB 2.0). USB allows many
devices to run simultaneously on a single computer, with some peripherals acting as additional
plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that most peripherals can be connect-
ed or disconnected without restarting the computer.
