What Is USB?

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a hardware interface that can be
used to connect external devices such as a USB keyboard, mouse,
drive, printer, scanner, or hub to the notebook. The notebook has
3 standard USB connectors that support USB-2.0 and USB-1.1
devices.
A USB device functions in the same way as a comparable
non-USB device, with one exception. By default, USB devices
do not function unless an operating system that supports USB
is installed in the notebook.
Some USB devices may require additional support software,
which is usually included with the device. For more information
and software installation instructions, refer to the documentation
included with the device.
