Verifying USB Presence

Power up your computer and check to see if USB is implemented. Visually inspect the
USB ports of your computer. If you cannot find the USB ports at the back of your
computer (See Figure 1), read the documentation that came with your computer main
board.

For computer main board with USB supported:

Enter BIOS settings and enable USB, see the documentation that came with your
computer.
Normally, when the computer power is turned on, before starting windows, the computer
will hint you to press some keys for displaying BIOS menu.

For computer main board without USB:

In this case, USB can be implemented by an USB add-on card. The BIOS settings for
main board type USB are not required.
