Connecting USB devices

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 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.

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: 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.

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.
