Using a USB Device

USB devices function in the system the same as comparable
non-USB devices, with 1 exception: By default, USB devices do
not function unless an operating system that supports USB is
loaded. Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP Home, and
Windows XP Professional support USB.
To use a USB keyboard or hub connected to a USB connector on
the notebook during startup (before Windows loads) or in a
non-Windows application or utility (such as Computer Setup),
enable USB legacy support.

Enabling USB Legacy Support

USB legacy support is set in Computer Setup. Computer Setup
is a non-Windows utility. For more information about using
Computer Setup, refer on this CD to the Software Guide,
"Setup and Diagnostic Utilities" section.
