Knowing the Parts
Right Side
Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on this side of the Notebook PC.
Audio Volume Control
1
Audio volume (stereo speakers and headphone jack) can be instantly adjusted using this
physical dial in order to make listening to audio CD's or watching movies more convenient.
Microphone Input Jack
2
The mono microphone jack (1/8 inch) can be used to connect an external microphone or
output signals from audio devices. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in micro-
phone. Use this feature for video conferencing, voice narrations, or simple audio recordings.
SPDIF Output Jack (on selected models)
3
This jack provides connection to SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) compliant de-
vices for digital audio output. Use this feature to turn the Notebook PC into a hi-fi home
entertainment system.
Headphone Output Jack
The stereo headphone jack (1/8 inch) is used to connect the Notebook PC's audio out signal to
amplified speakers or headphones. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in speakers.
ExpressCard Slot
4
One 26pin Express card slot is available to support one ExpressCard/34mm or one
ExpressCard/54mm expansion card. This new interface is faster by using a serial bus
supporting USB 2.0 and PCI Express instead of the slower parallel bus used in the PC
card slot. (Not compatible with previous PCMCIA cards.)
USB Port (2.0/1.1)
5
2.0
The Universal Serial Bus is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as
keyboards, pointing devices, cameras, hard disk drives, printers, and scanners con-
nected in a series up to 12Mbits/sec (USB 1.1) and 480Mbits/sec (USB 2.0). USB
allows many devices to run simultaneously on a single computer, with peripherals such as USB key-
boards and some newer monitors acting as additional plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping
of devices so that most peripherals can be connected or disconnected without restarting the computer.
Display (Monitor) Output
6
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.
