About the I/O Connectors
You can connect external devices to the input/output (I/O) connectors. The computer's basic
input/output system (BIOS) detects the presence of external devices when you boot (start) or
reboot your computer.
NOTICE: When disconnecting external devices from the back of the computer,
wait 5 seconds after turning off the computer before you disconnect a device
to avoid possible damage to the system board.
