 (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 ConceptD computers: USB

2.0 (High-speed USB) and USB 3.2 Gen 1/Gen 2 (SuperSpeed USB). USB

2.0 ports on ConceptD 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.
