3 HDMI connector
The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connector is a digital audio and video interface. It enables
you to connect your computer to a compatible digital audio device or video monitor, such as a DVD player
or a high-definition television (HDTV).
4 Mini Ethernet connector
The mini Ethernet connector makes your computer thinner than the ones with a standard Ethernet connector.
To connect your computer to a local area network (LAN) through the mini Ethernet connector, you need an
Ethernet extension adapter. The Ethernet extension adapter is available as an option and shipped with
some computer models only. For information about using and purchasing the Ethernet extension adapter,
see "Cabled Ethernet connections" on page 27.
DANGER
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not connect the telephone cable to the Ethernet extension
adapter.
