Making Connections Connecting External Devices To connect USB devices Note Windows NT 4.0 does not support universal serial bus (USB) devices. Universal serial bus (USB) provides a bi-directional serial interface for adding peripheral devices such as game controllers, serial and parallel ports, and scanners on a single bus. The OmniBook provides one USB port; the OmniBook docking products provide two USB ports. • Attach the USB cable to the USB port. Windows 95 automatically recognizes the USB device. Some USB devices can be connected to the OmniBook in series with other USB devices-this is called a "daisy-chain" connection. Note If you have problems making this connection, contact the vendor of the peripheral device, as well as Hewlett-Packard, for the latest versions of the USB drivers. The USB technology is dynamic and continues to develop. USB is disabled by default in the BIOS Setup utility. 4-12

Windows NT 4.0 does not support universal serial bus (USB) devices.
Universal serial bus (USB) provides a bi-directional serial interface for adding
peripheral devices such as game controllers, serial and parallel ports, and scanners
on a single bus. The OmniBook provides one USB port; the OmniBook docking
products provide two USB ports.
Attach the USB cable to the USB port. Windows 95 automatically recognizes the
USB device. Some USB devices can be connected to the OmniBook in series
with other USB devices
—this is called a “daisy-chain” connection.
