Optional External MultiBay and External MultiBay II An optional external MultiBay or MultiBay II connects to the notebook USB port or into an optional docking device (select models only), and enables you to use MultiBay and MultiBay II devices. The notebook does not provide power to the external MultiBay.
USB Devices Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a hardware interface that can be used to connect an optional external device, such as a USB keyboard, mouse, drive, printer, scanner, or hub, to the notebook. Your notebook model has 3 standard USB ports that support USB 2.0 and USB 1.1 devices.
Using a USB Device A USB device functions in the same way as a comparable non-USB device, with one exception. By default, USB devices do not function unless an operating system that supports USB is installed in the notebook. Some USB devices may require additional support software, which is usually included with the device.
