Abstract
An information handling system includes a processor that provides a USB-2 channel and a USB-3 channel to a device. The device provides the USB-2 and -3 channels to selected ports. Each port includes a USB-3 enable setting. When the USB-3 enable setting for each particular USB port is in a first state, the associated device USB-3 channel is active, and when the USB-3 enable setting for each particular USB port is in a second state, the associated device USB-3 channel is inactive. The USB-3 enable setting for at least one of the USB ports is placed into the second state to reduce electromagnetic interference between the associated USB-3 channel and an antenna.
