Using a USB device

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a hardware interface that can be used to connect an optional external
device, such as a USB keyboard, mouse, drive, printer, scanner, or hub. Devices can be connected to
the system, an optional docking device, or an optional expansion product.
Some USB devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the device.
For more information about device-specific software, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
The device has 3 USB ports, which support USB 1.0, USB 1.1, and USB 2.0 devices. An optional USB
hub, optional docking device, or an optional expansion product provides additional USB ports that can
be used with the device.
