Chapter 1. Getting to know your computer  Connecting USB devices You can connect a USB device to your computer by inserting its USB plug (Type A) into the USB port on your computer. The first time you plug a USB device into a USB port on your computer, Windows automatically installs a driver for that device. After the driver is installed, you can disconnect and reconnect the device without performing any additional steps. Note: Typically, Windows detects a newly connected device after connecting it and then installs the driver automatically. However, some devices might require you to install the driver before connecting. Check the documentation provided by the manufacturer of the device before connecting. Before disconnecting a USB storage device, make sure your computer has finished using the device to transfer the data. Click the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon in the notification area of the Windows desktop screen to remove the device before disconnecting. Note: • If your USB device uses a power cord, connect the device to a power source before connecting it. Otherwise, the device may not be recognized. • When the computer is in sleep mode, you can only use the keyboard instead of the mouse to wake up the computer. 8

Chapter 1. Getting to know your computer
Connecting USB devices
You
 
can
 
connect
 
a
 
USB
 
device
 
to
 
your
 
computer
 
by
 
inserting
 
its
 
USB
 
plug
 
(Type
 
A)
 
into
 
the
 
USB
 
port
 
on
 
your
 
computer.
The
 
first
 
time
 
you
 
plug
 
a
 
USB
 
device
 
into
 
a
 
USB
 
port
 
on
 
your
 
computer,
 
Windows
 
automatically
 
installs
 
a
 
driver
 
for
 
that
 
device.
 
After
 
the
 
driver
 
is
 
installed,
 
you
 
can
 
disconnect
 
and
 
reconnect
 
the
 
device
 
without
 
performing
 
any
 
additional
 
steps.
Before
 
disconnecting
 
a
 
USB
 
storage
 
device,
 
make
 
sure
 
your
 
computer
 
has
 
finished
 
using
 
the
 
device
 
to
 
transfer
 
the
 
data.
 
Click
 
the
 
Safely
 
Remove
 
Hardware
 
and
 
Eject
 
Media
 
icon
 
in
 
the
 
notification
 
area
 
of
 
the
 
Windows
 
desktop
 
screen
 
to
 
remove
 
the
 
device
 
before
 
disconnecting.
Note:
Typically,
 
Windows
 
detects
 
a
 
newly
 
connected
 
device
 
after
 
connecting
 
it
 
and
 
then
 
installs
 
the
 
driver
 
automatically.
 
However,
 
some
 
devices
 
might
 
require
 
you
 
to
 
install
 
the
 
driver
 
before
 
connecting.
 
Check
 
the
 
documentation
 
provided
 
by
 
the
 
manufacturer
 
of
 
the
 
device
 
before
 
connecting.
Note:
•
If
 
your
 
USB
 
device
 
uses
 
a
 
power
 
cord,
 
connect
 
the
 
device
 
to
 
a
 
power
 
source
 
before
 
connecting
 
it.
 
Otherwise,
 
the
 
device
 
may
 
not
 
be
 
recognized.
•
When
 
the
 
computer
 
is
 
in
 
sleep
 
mode,
 
you
 
can
 
only
 
use
 
the
 
keyboard
 
instead
 
of
 
the
 
mouse
 
to
 
wake
 
up
 
the
 
computer.
