Using a USB Device
Universal serial bus (USB) is a hardware interface that can be
used to connect external devices, such as a USB keyboard,
mouse, drive, printer, scanner, or hub, to the notebook. The
notebook has a USB connector 1 and a USB connector with
power 2. The USB connectors support USB 2.0 and USB 1.1
devices.
USB connectors on the rear panel
USB hubs can be connected to a USB connector on the notebook
or a Port Replicator or to other USB devices. Hubs support
varying numbers of USB devices and are used to increase the
number of USB devices in the system. Powered hubs must be
connected to external power. Unpowered hubs must be connected
either to a USB connector on the notebook or to a port on a
powered hub.
