You're absolutely correct to note the labeling and I’ve always presumed that is 
the connector is only for a keyboard.  

However, the "P3 HIgh-Performance Owner’s Manual" (Revision F, 11 JAN 16 p.12) 
does have this description of that connector:

"KEYBOARD: USB jack for a USB keyboard or thumb drive (mass storage device). 
Apple keyboards are not supported at this time.”


So the wording does suggest compatibility with thumb drives, but from what I 
can tell there is no discussion in the “Owner’s Manual" about how to utilize a 
thumb drive.  Perhaps this may be a feature that was never actually developed.
