Knowing the Parts
Left Side
Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on this side of the Notebook PC.
Audio Speaker System
1
The built-in stereo speaker system allows you to hear audio without additional attachments.
The multimedia sound system features an integrated digital audio controller that produces
rich, vibrant sound (results improved with external stereo headphones or speakers). Audio
features are software controlled.
Flash Memory Slot
2
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
3
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) (on selected models)
4
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.
IEEE134 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.
