Knowing the Parts

Right Side

Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on this side of the Notebook PC.
USB Ports
(see left side)
1394 Port
IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has simple connections and hot-plugging capabilities
like USB. The interface IEEE1394 has a bandwidth of 100-400 Mbits/sec and can handle up to 63 units
on the same bus. IEEE1394 is also used in high-end digital equipment and should be marked "DV" for
Digital Video port.
Flash Memory Slot
Normally a PCMCIA or USB memory card reader must be purchased separately in order to use memory
cards from devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones, and PDAs. This Notebook PC
has a built-in memory card reader that can read many flash memory cards as specified later in this
manual. The built-in memory card reader is not only convenient, but also faster than most other forms
of memory card readers because it utilizes the high-bandwidth PCI bus.
PC Card Slot
One PCMCIA 2.1 compliant PC Card socket is available to support one type I/II PC card. The socket
supports 32-bit CardBus. This allows accommodation of Notebook PC expansion options such as memory
cards, ISDN, SCSI, Smart Cards, and wireless network adapters.
Infrared Port (IrDA)
The infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication with infrared-
equipped devices or computers. This allows easy wireless synchronization with PDAs or mobile phones
and even wireless printing to printers. If your office supports IrDA networking, you can have wireless
connection to a network anywhere provided there is a direct line of sight to an IrDA node. Small offices
can use IrDA technology to share a printer between several closely placed Notebook PCs and even send
files to each other without a network.
Display (Monitor) Output
The 15-pin D-sub monitor port supports a standard VGA-compatible device such as a monitor or projector
to allow viewing on a larger external display.
