Device Ports
Your LifeBook notebook comes equipped with multiple
ports to which you can connect external devices
including: disk drives, keyboards, modems, printers, etc.
MODEM (RJ-11) TELEPHONE JACK
The modem (RJ-11) telephone jack is used for an
internal modem. To connect the telephone cable follow
these easy steps: (See Figure 2-6 on page 11 for location)
1. Align the connector with the port opening.
2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.
3. Plug the other end of the telephone cable into a
telephone outlet
.
The internal modem is not intended for
use with Digital PBX systems. Do not
connect the internal modem to a Digital
PBX as it may cause serious damage to the
modem or your entire LifeBook notebook.
Consult your PBX manufacturer's
documentation for details. Some hotels
have Digital PBX systems. Be sure to find
out BEFORE you connect your modem.
■
The internal modem is designed to the
ITU-T V.90 standard. Its maximum
speed of 53000bps is the highest
allowed by FCC, and its actual connec-
tion rate depends on the line conditions.
Maximum speed is 33600bps at upload.
■
The internal modem on all LifeBook
notebooks are certified for use in the
United States and Canada. The modem
may be certified in other countries.
INTERNAL LAN (RJ-45) JACK
The RJ-45 jack is used to connect the internal Fast
Ethernet (10/100 Base-T/Tx) to a Local Area Network
(LAN) in your office or home, or broadband devices such
as a cable modem, DSL, or satellite internet. If your note-
book has been configured with internal LAN capability
you will need to configure your notebook to work with
your particular network. (To properly set up your LAN
environment, consult a networking professional. Refer to
your network administrator for information on your
network configuration.) To connect the LAN cable follow
these easy steps: (See Figure 2-6 on page 11 for location)
1. Align the connector with the port opening.
2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.
3. Plug the other end of the cable into a LAN outlet.
IEEE 1394 PORT
The 4-pin 1394 port allows you to connect digital
devices that are compliant with IEEE 1394 standard
46
(also known as "FireWire"). The IEEE 1394 standard is
easy to use, connect, and disconnect. This port allows up
to 400 Mbps transfer rate. A third-party application is
required to operate your device with the 1394 port
The 1394 port used in this system uses a
four-pin configuration. If you intend to
interface with devices which use a six-pin
configuration, you will need to purchase
an adapter.
In order to connect a 1394 device, follow these steps:
(See Figure 2-4 on page 9 for location)
1. Align the connector with the port opening.
2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.
UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS PORT
A Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 port allows you to
connect USB devices such as game pads, pointing
devices, keyboards and speakers. USB 2.0 is downward-
compatible with USB 1.1 devices, so older USB devices
will work with these ports. USB 2.0 is a much faster
design, running forty times faster than USB 1.1. To
connect a USB device follow these steps: (See Figure 2-6
on page 11 for location)
1. Align the connector with the port opening.
2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.
Due to ongoing changes in USB
technology and standards, not all USB
devices or drivers are guaranteed to work.
PARALLEL PORT
The parallel port, or LPT port, allows you to connect
parallel devices, such as a printer to your notebook. In
order to connect a parallel interface device, follow these
steps: (See Figure 2-6 on page 11 for location)
1. Align the connector with the port opening.
2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.
3. Tighten the two hold-down screws, located on each
end of the connector.
MICROPHONE JACK
The microphone jack allows you to connect an external
mono microphone. Your microphone must be equipped
with a 1/8"(3.5 mm) mono mini-plug in order to fit into
the microphone jack of your LifeBook notebook. In
order to connect a microphone follow these easy steps:
(See Figure 2-5 on page 10 for location)
1. Align the connector with the port opening.
2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.
