modem).

USB devices are hot-pluggable. This allows cables from USB devices to be connected
and disconnected with the system switched on.
Additional information can be found in the documentation for the USB devices.

Device drivers
The devices you connect to the USB ports usually require no driver of their own, as the
required software is already included in the operating system. However, if the USB device
requires its own software, please install it from the data carrier provided with the USB
device.
