onnecting USB devices
Yo u  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  particular  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: Ty p i c a l l y,  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  the  device  to  a  power  source  before 
connecting  it.  Otherwise,  the  device  may  not  be  recognized.
