Right Side
Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on the right side of the Notebook PC.
USB Ports
(Rotated 180 deg)
USB Ports (1.1 & 2.0)
2.0
Universal Serial Bus (USB) supports many USB compatible devices such as keyboards, pointing de-
vices, video cameras, modems, hard disk drives, printers, monitors, 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 simulta-
neously on a single computer, with peripherals such as USB keyboards and some newer monitors
acting as additional plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that peripherals can
be connected or disconnected while the Notebook PC is turned ON.
CAUTION: The two USB ports on the right side is rotated 180 degrees compared to the
other USB ports. Be sure the orientation is correct before connecting your USB device.
Optical Drive Eject and Emergency Eject
The optical drive eject is an electronic eject button for opening the tray. You can also eject the optical
drive tray through any CD/VCD/DVD software player or by right clicking the optical drive in Win-
dows™ "My Computer." The emergency eject is used to eject the optical drive tray in case the elec-
tronic eject does not work. Do not use the emergency eject in place of the electronic eject.
Flash Memory Card Reader (on selected models)
The built-in memory card reader can read the following flash memory cards: Secure Digital (SD),
Multi-Media Card (MMC), Memory Stick (MS), Memory Stick Select (MS Select), and Memory Stick
Duo (with MS adapter). This feature is only available on selected models.
Infrared Port (IrDA)
The infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication with infra-
red-equipped devices or computers. This allows easy wireless synchronization with PDAs or mobile
phones and even wireless printing to printers. If your office supports IrDA networking, you can have
wireless connection to a network anywhere provided there is a direct line of sight to an IrDA node.
Small offices can use IrDA technology to share a printer between several closely placed Notebook PCs
and even send files to each other without a network.
