5.1 Using the USB Port

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a hardware interface that enables you to connect

multiple devices (such as printers, mice, keyboards, storage devices, joysticks,

digital cameras, and video conference cameras, etc.) to your notebook

computer, and up to 127 devices can be attached. Besides, USB’s hot swap

capability allows everything to be plugged in and unplugged without turning

the system off.

Microsoft, HP, Compaq, Intel, Agere, NEC and Philip are seven core

members of USB-IF to have worked on USB 2.0 standardization. USB 2.0

offers data transfer rate up to 480Mbps (megabits per second) compared to

USB 1.1 devices, which transfer at speeds of 12Mbps. This means USB 2.0 can

transfer data between the computer and its peripherals 40 times faster than

USB 1.1. However, USB 2.0 is fully backward compatible, you will be able to

use a USB 1.1 device in a USB 2.0 compliant system.

Depending on your operational requirements, you may need to disable

other ports in order to release system resource for the USB port.
