Description
Attaches an optional security cable to the computer.
The security cable is designed to act as a deterrent, but it may
not prevent the computer from being mishandled or stolen.
Enable airflow to cool internal components.
NOTE:
The computer fan starts up automatically to cool
internal components and prevent overheating. It is normal for
the internal fan to cycle on and off during routine operation.
Connects an optional USB device, such as a keyboard, mouse,
external drive, printer, scanner or USB hub.
Connects optional powered stereo speakers, headphones,
earbuds, a headset, or a television audio cable. Also connects
an optional headset microphone. This jack does not support
optional microphone-only devices.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal injury, adjust the
volume before putting on headphones, earbuds, or a headset.
For additional safety information, refer to the Regulatory,
Safety, and Environmental Notices. To access this guide, from
the Start screen, type support, and then select the HP
Support Assistant app.
NOTE:
When a device is connected to the jack, the
computer speakers are disabled.
NOTE:
Be sure that the device cable has a 4-conductor
connector that supports both audio-out (headphone) and
audio-in (microphone).
