Chapter 1. Getting to know your computer
Connecting USB device
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 pa rticular 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 has been connected, and then installs the driver 
automatically. However, some devices may require  you to install the driver before connecting. 
Check the documentation provided by the device ’
 s manufacturer before connecting the device.
Before disconnecting a USB storage device, make sure your computer has finished transferring 
data to that device. Click the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media  icon in the Windows 
notification area to remove the device before disconnecting.
Note: If your USB device uses a power cord, connect th e device to a power source before connecting it. 
Otherwise, the device may not be recognized.
