Flash Memory Slot
1
Normally an external 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 Note-
book PC has a built-in high-speed memory card reader that can conveniently read from and
write to many flash memory cards as mentioned later in this manual.
2
ExpressCard Slot
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.)
3
E-SATA Port (on selected models)
E-SATA
External SATA or eSATA allows external connection of Serial-ATA devices originally
designed for use inside the computer. It is up to six times faster than existing USB 2.0,
& 1394 for external storage solutions and is also hot pluggable using shielded cables and
connectors up to two meters.
4
SPDIF Output Jack
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.
