Knowing the Parts

Right Side

Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on this side of the Notebook PC.
1
E-SATA Port (on selected models)
1
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.
USB Port (2.0/1.1) (on selected models)
2
2.0
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as
keyboards, pointing devices, cameras, hard disk drives, printers, and scanners connected 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 some peripherals 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.
IEEE134 Port (on selected models)
3
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.
Flash Memory Slot
4
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 Notebook 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.
ExpressCard Slot
5
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.)
