Connecting USB devices

Connect a USB device to your computer by inserting the USB plug (Type A)
into the USB port on your computer.
The first time you plug a USB device into a particular USB port on your
computer, Windows automatically installs a driver for that device. After the
driver is installed, you can reconnect the device without performing any
additional steps.
Note: Typically, Windows detects a new device after connecting it, and then installs the
driver automatically. However, some devices may require you to install the driver
before connecting. Check the documentation provided by the device's manufacturer
before connecting the device.
Before disconnecting a USB storage device, make sure your computer has
finished transferring data to or from that device. Click the Safely Remove
Hardware and Eject Media icon in the notification area of the Windows
desktop screen to remove the device before disconnecting.
Notes:
• If your USB device uses a power cord, connect the device to a power source before
connecting it. Otherwise, the device may not be recognized.
• To connect or disconnect a USB device in sleep mode, wake up your computer first.
