lock port allows the Notebook PC to be secured using Kensington
book PC security products. These security products usually include a metal cable and lock that prevent
the Notebook PC to be removed from a fixed object. Some security products may also include a motion
detector to sound an alarm when moved.
Display (Monitor) Output
The 15-pin D-sub monitor port supports a standard VGA-compatible device such as a monitor or pro-
jector to allow viewing on a larger external display.
1394 Port
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.
Infrared Port (Standard Infrared)
The standard infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication
with infrared-equipped devices or computers. This allows easy wireless synchronization with PDAs or
mobile phones and even wireless printing. 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.
PC Card or ExpressCard Slot (depending on model)
Depending on model, this slot either accomodates one PCMCIA 2.1 type I/II 16-bit
or 32-bit (CardBus) PC card or one 26pin ExpressCard/34mm/54mm expansion card.
