Connecting USB devices
ConnectaUSBdevicetoyourcomputerbyinsertingtheUSBplug(TypeA)
intotheUSBportonyourcomputer.
ThefirsttimeyouplugaUSBdeviceintoaparticularUSBportonyour
computer,Windowsautomaticallyinstallsadriverforthatdevice.Afterthe
driverisinstalled,youcanreconnectthedevicewithoutperformingany
additionalsteps.
BeforedisconnectingaUSBstoragedevice,makesureyourcomputerhas
finishedtransferringdatatoorfromthatdevice.ClicktheSafelyRemove

desktopscreentoremovethedevicebeforedisconnecting.
Note: Typically,Windowsdetectsanewdeviceafterconnectingit,andtheninstallsthe
driverautomatically.However,somedevicesmayrequireyoutoinstallthedriver
beforeconnecting.Checkthedocumentationprovidedbythedevice’smanufacturer
beforeconnectingthedevice.
Notes:
•IfyourUSBdeviceusesapowercord,connectthedevicetoapowersourcebefore
connectingit.Otherwise,thedevicemaynotberecognized.
•ToconnectordisconnectaUSBdeviceinsleepmode,wakeupyourcomputerfirst.
