Universal Serial Bus 
(USB 2.0) port
The Universal Serial Bus port, which complies 
with the USB 2.0 standard, is provided on the left 
hand side of the computer.
Keep foreign metal objects, such as screws, staples and paper clips, out of 
the USB connectors. Foreign metal objects can create a short circuit, 
which can cause damage and fire, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Please note that it is not possible to confirm the operation of all functions of 
all USB devices that are available. In view of this it may be noted that 
some functions associated with a specific device might not operate 
properly.
Cooling vents
The cooling vents help keep the processor from 
overheating.
