Re: Dell 1901FP USB Ports

In order to use the "downstream" USB ports, you must first connect the "upstream" USB port on the the monitor to a USB port on your computer.

A quick question on the USB ports on the 1901FP Monitor. I have it
connected and functioning well with my Desktop, but I cannot seem to
use the USB Ports on the Monitor. If I insert a USB device, not
action!

Of course, I have the power connected and the Desktop connection
between the monitor and the desktop. Is there something else I have
to do to activate the USB Ports on the monitor for use? There are 2
Ports.

Thanks for any tips.

Charlie


Charlie -

Apologies in advance (I have a 1907FP) - you have the data/video signal
cable plugged to your desktop, but is the USB cable plugged in?

Gotta ask.......

Not sure what you mean. I've had the monitor plugged in for years
(power and connection to desktop) - works fine - but now have a
SanDisk that I would like to plug in without moving the desktop.
Plugged it into the monitor, but no activity. I'm assuming with the
existing 2 connections, I need to connect something else to use the
USB Ports on the monitor. What am I missing?

Thanks
Charlie
