Using a USB Device
Two Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors can be used to
connect external USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices, such as a USB
keyboard, mouse, drive, printer, scanner, hub, or external
MultiBay to the notebook.
To connect a USB device to the notebook, insert the USB cable 1
into the USB connector on the back of the notebook, and connect
the other end of the cable 2 to the external device.
Your model might vary slightly from this illustration.
USB hubs can be connected to a USB connector on the notebook
or on an optional 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.
