CHAPTER 1: Using Your Gateway Flat-Panel Monitor
4
Connecting USB cables
Your monitor has the built-in card reader and USB 2.0 hub. In order to use
these devices, your monitor needs to be connected to your computer using the supplied USB A-B
cable.
The USB 2.0 hub will let you conveniently connect USB devices. Because your computer case may
be under your desk or inside a cabinet, these monitor-mounted USB ports can be much easier to
access.
To use the monitor’s USB ports, you must first connect the monitor to a USB port on your computer.
Because the USB hub uses power from the monitor, it does not require its own power connection.
To connect USB cables:
1 Connect the included USB cable to the USB-in (“B” type) port on your monitor, then connect
the other end (“A” type) of the cable to a USB 2.0 port on your computer.
2 Connect any USB device to one of the available USB 2.0 ports on the monitor.
Important
The built-in USB 2.0 hub provides only low-speed connections if its USB-in port
is connected to a USB 1.1 port on your computer or on a USB hub.
Tip
Use the USB 2.0 ports on the back of the monitor for connecting USB devices
you want to keep connected most of the time, such as a keyboard, a mouse, or a
printer. Use the USB 2.0 ports on the side of the monitor for connecting USB devices
that are frequently disconnected, such as cameras, flash drives, and USB hard drives.
