How to test USB ports

---

Note the number of ports on the system. Look for any physical damage.

---

Use a USB mouse to test each port. Make sure you can move things around and switch between windows with the mouse cursor.

---

If there is a broken port, make a note on the Keeper label to be included in the printme notes, and cover the port with black electrical tape.

☐ Any non-functioning ports should be covered neatly with black electrical tape.
☐ Any non-functioning ports should be noted on the keeper label, and in the printme notes section.

Troubleshooting steps
