USB devices
The computer has three USB (Universal Serial Bus) 2.0 ports on the rear of the
computer, that allow you to connect peripherals without occupying too many
resources. USB 2.0 is the second generation USB standard that allows faster
transfer rates and is also backward-compatible with USB 1.1 devices. Common
USB devices include a mouse, keyboard, and digital camera.
Before disconnecting a USB device from your computer, click on the Safely
Remove Hardware icon on the taskbar and click on the device. When the device
can be safely removed, disconnect the device from the computer. See your
peripheral's documentation for details.
