device).
USB 3.0 ports on the computer are denoted by their blue color. USB 3.0 will transfer data much
faster than USB 2.0, and is backwards-compatible with USB 2.0. The combined e-SATA/USB 2.0
port functions as a USB 2.0 compatible port.
Note: The powered USB 3.0 port (see 27) may be toggled on /off by
"Right View" on page 1 -
means of the Fn + Power Button key combination (press for around 1 to 2 seconds to toggle).
When the powered USB port is on it will supply power (for charging devices only, not for oper-
ating devices) when the system is off but still powered by the AC/DC adapter plugged into a work-
ing outlet, or powered by the battery with a capacity level above 20% (this may not work with
certain devices - see page
8 - 12).

Note: This function is designed to help charge USB compliant devices, but is not designed to
allow their operation.
