Q: How should I use the USB ports on my powered hubs?

A: The same as USB ports on the computer.

The USB ports on some monitors (such as the Dell 1707) are part of an internal, powered USB hub built into the monitor case. You can use it in a similar fashion to any powered USB hub.

Because these ports are powered, there are many possible devices that could be used with them:

USB audio adaptors
USB head phones
USB flash drives
USB floppy drives
USB cameras

Connecting Other USB Devices

To connect these USB devices to your monitor's USB hub, follow these steps:
