Using USB Devices
Your Macintosh Server G4 comes with two USB ports on the rear panel and your Apple Pro
Keyboard also has two USB ports. You can use your USB ports to connect many types of
external devices, including printers, digital cameras, microphones, game pads, joysticks,
keyboards, mouse devices, and storage devices. USB makes it easy to connect external
equipment. Once you connect the device, it is ready to use. You don’t need to restart your
server.
To use a USB device with your server, connect the device to the server and install its software
or configure your server to work with the device. From then on, your server automatically
loads the correct software whenever you attach the device.
Note: Apple has already included software to work with many USB devices. In most cases,
you do not need to install the software that came with the device. If, when you connect a
USB device, your Macintosh Server G4 cannot find the correct software, install the software
that came with the device or download it from the manufacturer’s website.
