Using A Usb Device; Enabling Or Disabling Usb Legacy Support - HP Compaq NX6115 Hardware Manual

Using a USB Device

A USB device functions in the same way as a comparable
non-USB device, with one exception. By default, USB devices
do not function unless an operating system that supports USB
is installed in the notebook.
Some USB devices may require additional support software,
which is usually included with the device. For more information
and software installation instructions, refer to the documentation
included with the device.

Enabling or Disabling USB Legacy Support

■
Use a USB keyboard, mouse, or hub connected to a USB port
on the notebook during startup or in a non-Microsoft®
Windows® application or utility.
■
Boot from an optional external MultiBay.
