USB Devices
Your notebook is equipped with one or several USB ports, allowing you to connect USB-equipped peripheral
devices such as a digital camera, scanner, printer, CD-ROM drive, modem, mouse, keyboard, telephone, or
game device to your notebook computer.
USB devices called USB hubs can serve as connection ports for other USB peripherals. Only one device
needs to be plugged into your notebook. Additional peripherals can be connected in a daisy chain
configuration where one device is connected to another in a series.
Note
Some USB devices draw their power from the notebook power system, thereby reducing battery life. Always
connect your system to an AC power source before connecting these devices.
Connect an external USB device to your system as follows.
1. Locate any of the USB ports on your system.
2. Follow any specific set-up instructions in the device's user's guide.
Note
USB devices can be hot-swapped or plugged, meaning that you do not need to turn off your system before
plugging or removing USB devices.
3. Plug the USB device into one of the USB ports.
