4 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).
5 Always On USB 3.0 connector
By default, the Always On USB 3.0 connector enables you to charge USB-compatible devices in the
following situations:
• When your computer is on or in sleep mode
• When your computer is off or in hibernation mode, but connected to ac power
Attention: When you attach a USB cable to this connector, ensure that the USB mark is facing upward.
Otherwise the connector might get damaged.
To charge these devices when the computer is off or in hibernation mode, and the computer is not connected
to ac power, do the following:
• Start the fingerprint program. For instructions on how to start the fingerprint program, see "Accessing
Lenovo programs" on page 12.
• For Windows 7: Start the Power Manager program. For instructions on how to start the program, see
"Accessing Lenovo programs" on page 12. Click the Global Power Settings tab, and then follow the
instructions on the screen to make your preferred setting.
• For Windows 10: Start the Lenovo Settings program. For instructions on how to start the program,
see "Accessing Lenovo programs" on page 12. Click POWER, and then follow the instructions on the
screen to make your preferred setting.
6 Ethernet connector
The Ethernet connector enables you to connect the computer to a local area network (LAN).
DANGER
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not connect the telephone cable to the Ethernet connector.
You can only connect an Ethernet cable to this connector.
The Ethernet connector has two network status indicators. When the green indicator is on, the computer is
connected to a LAN. When the yellow indicator blinks, data is being transmitted.
Note: If the computer is connected to a docking station, use the Ethernet connector on the docking station
instead of the one on the computer.
7 Micro-SIM-card tray
If your computer supports the wireless wide area network (wireless WAN) feature, a micro Subscriber
Identification Module (SIM) card might be required to establish wireless WAN connections. Depending on
the country or region of delivery, the micro SIM card might be already installed in the Micro-SIM-card tray.
For more information, see "Using a media card or a smart card" on page 32.
8 Security-lock slot
To protect your computer from theft, lock your computer to a desk, table, or other fixtures through a security
