Built-in networking
The built-in networking allows you to connect
your computer to an Ethernet-based network.
Connect an Ethernet cable from the Ethernet
(RJ-45) port on the chassis of the computer to
a network jack or hub on your network.
Universal Serial Bus (USB)
The USB port is a high-speed serial bus
which allows you to connect USB peripherals
without taking up system resources.
Certain computers may include one or more
USB 3.0 ports. These resemble standard
USB ports, except they include additional
internal connections and are blue. You may
use USB 3.0 compatible devices with these
ports to benefit from faster transfer speeds.
