Optional External Connections
DC IN
Monitor Out Connection
Connecting an external monitor is just like on a stan-
K
dard desktop PC. Just plug in the VGA cable and its
ready to use (some Notebook PC configurations may
require additional display driver settings). You can view
the Notebook PC display panel while simultaneously
allowing others to view the external monitor. For large
audiences, try connecting a computer video projector.
Printer Connection
K
This Notebook PC provides a "PRN Cable" adapter
that allows you to connect an injet or laser parallel
printer to Portbar II connector. Alternatively, one or
more USB printers can be connected directly to any
USB port.
IEEE1394 Connection
1394
IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has
simple connections and hot-plugging capabilities like
USB. Up to 63 devices such as hard disk drives, scan-
ners, and removable drives with an IEEE1394 port
can all be connected instead of using traditional Par-
allel, IDE, SCSI, or EIDE ports. IEEE1394 is also used
in high-end digital equipment and should be marked
"DV" for Digital Video port.
