Using a USB device

A USB port 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.
Some USB devices might require additional support software, which is usually included with the device.
For more information about device-specific software, see the manufacturer's instructions.
The computer has 3 USB ports, which support USB 1.0, USB 1.1, and USB 2.0 devices. To add more
USB ports, connect an optional hub or optional expansion product.
