@Shred_9,

Reading the manual, link, explains it.

On the back of the monitor (page 8 you will see a USB B port. That is connected to an existing USB A port on the computer. The 2 USB ports on the side of the monitor (page 14) are extensions of that cable. It is just a means to attach a USB device, rather than crawling behind the computer. The cable is a USB A to USB B (printer cable).
