Using a USB device Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a hardware interface that connects an optional external device, such as a USB keyboard, mouse, drive, printer, scanner, or hub, to the computer or to an optional expansion product. Depending on the model, the computer may have up to 4 USB ports, which support USB 1.0, USB 1.1, and USB 2.0 devices.
Connecting a USB device CAUTION To prevent damage to a USB connector, use minimal force to connect a USB device. To connect a USB device to the computer, connect the USB cable for the device to the USB port. The operating system will issue a sound to indicate that a device has been detected.
Using a 1394 device (select models only) IEEE 1394 is a hardware interface that can be used to connect a high-speed multimedia or data storage device to the computer. Scanners, digital cameras, and digital camcorders often require a 1394 connection. The 1394 port, illustrated below, also supports IEEE 1394a devices.

Using the expansion port The expansion port on the left side of the computer allows you to connect the computer to an optional expansion product. An optional expansion product provides additional ports and connectors that can be used with the computer. NOTE The computer has only one expansion port.
