N I V E R S A L
The USB port is a high-speed port which allows you to
connect USB peripherals, such as a mouse, an external
keyboard, additional storage (external hard disks), or any
other compatible device.
Note
Two USB standards are currently available on Predator
computers: USB 2.0 (High-speed USB) and USB 3.0 (SuperSpeed
USB). USB 2.0 ports on Predator computers have a black tongue
in the port, while USB 3.0 ports have a blue tongue. For best
performance, USB 3.0 devices should always be plugged into USB
3.0 ports. Consult your device's documentation to see which
standard it supports.
You can also charge devices such as tablets, smartphones,
or other devices through a USB port. Some USB 3.0 ports
support charging devices when the computer is in Hibernate
or turned off. Additionally, you can use a USB hub to
connect multiple devices to a single USB port.
Important
When removing a USB storage device, you should right-click on
the USB icon in the Windows task bar and select "Eject <device>"
to tell the operating system to stop using the device before
removing it. Failure to do this may result in data loss or damage
to your peripheral.
