1 Using a USB device
A USB port connects an optional external device, such as a USB keyboard, mouse, drive, printer,
scanner, or hub, to the computer or to an optional expansion product.
Some USB devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the device.
For more information about device-specific software, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
The computer has either 2 or 3 USB ports, which support USB 1.0, USB 1.1, and USB 2.0 devices. To
add more USB ports, connect an optional hub or expansion product.
