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 3.2 Gen 2
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 3.2 Gen 2
(SuperSpeed USB). USB 2.0 ports on Predator computers have a
black tongue in the port, while USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports have a blue
tongue. For best performance, USB 3.2 Gen 2 devices should
always be plugged into USB 3.2 Gen 2 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.
