(USB)
The USB port is a high-speed port which allows you to connect
USB peripherals, such as a mouse, an external keyboard,
additional storage (external hard disks), or any other compatible
device.
You can also charge devices such as tablets, smartphones, or
other devices through a USB port. Some USB 3.2 Gen 1/Gen 2
ports support charging devices when the computer is in
Hibernate or turned off. Additionally, you can use a USB hub to
connect multiple devices to a single USB port.
Note
Two USB standards are currently available on Acer computers: USB 2.0
(High-speed USB) and USB 3.2 Gen 1/Gen 2 (SuperSpeed USB). USB 2.0
ports on Acer computers have a black tongue in the port, while USB 3.2
Gen 1/Gen 2 ports have a blue tongue. For best performance, USB 3.2
Gen 1/Gen 2 devices should always be plugged into USB 3.2 Gen 1/Gen
2 ports. Consult your device’s documentation to see which standard it
supports.
Important
When removing a USB storage device, you should right-click on the USB
icon in the Windows task bar and select "Eject <device>" to tell the
operating system to stop using the device before removing it. Failure to
do this may result in data loss or damage to your peripheral.
