IEEE 1394 and USB ports support plug-and-play and hot
swapping, which means that your convertible notebook will
usually recognize such a device whenever you plug it into the
appropriate port. When you use an IEEE 1394 or USB device
for the first time, your convertible notebook prompts you to
install any software the device needs. After doing this, you
can disconnect and reconnect the device at any time.
Connecting a USB device
Your convertible notebook has USB ports for connecting
devices such as a diskette drive, flash drive, printer, scanner,
camera, keyboard, or mouse.
To connect your USB device to your convertible
notebook:
1 Connect one end of the USB cable to your device.
2 Connect the other end of the cable to a USB
port on your convertible notebook.
Connecting an IEEE 1394 device
Your convertible notebook has a 4-pin IEEE 1394 port (also
known as a Firewire® or i.Link® port) for connecting devices
such as a video camera.
