Your notebook has one or more of the following
ports: IEEE 1394 (also known as Firewire
®
or
i.Link
®
), Universal Serial Bus (USB), and S-Video
(digital video). You use these ports to connect
peripheral devices such as printers, scanners,
and digital cameras to your notebook.
IEEE 1394 and USB ports support plug-and-play
and hot swapping , which means that your
notebook will usually recognize such a device
whenever you plug it into the appropriate port.
When you use an IEEE 1394 or USB device for the
first time, your notebook will prompt you to
install any software the device needs. After
doing this, you can disconnect and reconnect
the device at any time.
