Connecting peripheral devices nN 72 Sony Notebook User Guide Connecting a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device You can connect a USB device (for example, a mouse, floppy disk drive, keyboard, printer) to your computer. Before connecting or disconnecting a USB peripheral, you do not need to shut down the computer. You may need to install software (device drivers) supplied with your USB device before using the USB device. There are 3 USB ports at the back of your notebook and 2 USB ports at the back of the optional port replicator. Connecting a USB mouse To connect a USB mouse, proceed as follows: 1 Choose the USB connector you prefer to use (at the back of the notebook (1) or the optional port replicator). 2 Plug the USB mouse cable (2) into the USB connector. You can use your USB mouse (3). The VAIO USB mouse software driver is preinstalled on your notebook, therefore, you only need to plug the USB mouse into the USB connector and you can start working.
