Connecting USB device
Your computer comes with three USB ports compatible with USB devices.
Th

e first time you plug a USB device into a pa rticula
 r USB port on your computer, Windows 
automatically installs a driver for that device . After the driver has been installed, you can 
disconnect and reconnect the device without performing any additional steps.
Note: Typically, Windows detects a new device after it ha s been connected, and then installs the driver 
automatically. However, some devices may require yo u to install the driver before connecting. Check 
the documentation provided by the device’s  manufacturer before connecting the device.
Be

fore disconnecting a USB storage device, make sure your computer has finished transferring 
da ta

 to that device. Click the  Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media icon in the Windows 
notification area to remove th e 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.
