Universal Serial Bus ports The server has three Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports, which are configured automatically. USB is a serial interface standard for telephony and multimedia devices. It uses Plug and Play technology to determine the type of device attached to the connector. USB cables and hubs You need a 4-pin cable to connect devices to USB 1, USB 2, and USB 3. If you plan to attach more than three USB devices, you must use a hub to connect the devices. The hub provides multiple connectors for attaching additional external USB devices. USB technology provides up to 12 Mbps speed with a maximum of 127 external devices and a maximum signal distance of 5 meters (16 ft) per segment.

These USB-port connectors are used to attach USB compatible devices to the server.
