The Notebook PC is equipped with one USB port using a shielded receptacle connector will allow
computer peripherals to be automatically configured as soon as they are physically attached - without
the need to reboot or run setup. USB will also allow multiple devices up to 127 to run simultaneously
on a computer, with peripherals such as monitors and keyboards acting as additional plug-in sites, or
hubs.
The Notebook PC’s built-in USB host controller initiates data transfer at full-speed, 12Mbps for digital
camera or low-speed, 1.5Mbps for keyboard or mouse. The host also manages the logical connection
of devices.
