Universal Serial Bus (USB) - 55
UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (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 3.0 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 Predator
computers: USB 2.0 (High-speed USB) and USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed
USB). USB 2.0 ports on Predator computers have a black tongue
in the port, while USB 3.0 ports have a blue tongue. For best
performance, USB 3.0 devices should always be plugged into USB
3.0 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.
