External Device Connections Connecting USB Equipment USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a hardware interface that can be used to connect such low-speed external devices as a USB keyboard, mouse, drive, printer, scanner, or hub to the computer. USB hubs connect to a USB port on the computer and then 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 the USB port on the computer or to a port on a powered hub. A USB port on the computer supports USB devices only if the computer is running an operating system that supports USB. Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows 2000 Professional support USB. Some USB devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the device. For more information and software installation instructions, refer to the documentation included with the device. Connecting a Modem or NIC Cable The RJ-11 jack and the RJ-45 jack allow computer models with an internal modem, internal NIC (network interface card), or both to connect to a networked interface.

External Device Connections
Connecting USB Equipment
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a hardware interface that can be
used to connect such low-speed external devices as a USB
keyboard, mouse, drive, printer, scanner, or hub to the computer.
USB hubs connect to a USB port on the computer and then 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 the USB port on the
computer or to a port on a powered hub.
A USB port on the computer supports USB devices only if the
computer is running an operating system that supports USB.
Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows 2000 Professional
support USB.
Some USB devices may require additional support software,
which is usually included with the device. For more information
and software installation instructions, refer to the documentation
included with the device.
Connecting a Modem or NIC Cable
The RJ-11 jack and the RJ-45 jack allow computer models with
an internal modem, internal NIC (network interface card), or both
to connect to a networked interface. You will need to purchase the
modem and network cables if they are not provided with the
computer.
