What is a USB Port?

Most computers built in 1998 and after have USB ports. There will most likely be one or two USB ports at the back or front of your computer. You may also have a USB port on your monitor or keyboard. USB ports look like this.

You will usually find a USB symbol next to the ports.

NOTE: If your computer has one or more USB ports, but other USB devices are plugged into those ports, you can unplug another device temporarily while you plug in the new device.
