Description
To prevent possible theft, a Kensington-type lock can be
attached to this slot. Locks can be purchased at any computer
store.
This S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface Format) Out Port
allows you to connect your DVD-capable PC to a Dolby AC-3
compatible receiver for "5.1" or 'dts' surround sound.
These USB 2.0 compatible ports (USB 2.0 is fully USB 1.1
compliant) are for low-speed peripherals such as keyboards,
mice or scanners, and for high-speed peripherals such as
external HDDs, digital video cameras or high-speed scanners
etc. Devices can be plugged into the computer, and unplugged
from the computer, without the need to turn the system off (if the
power rating of your USB device is 500mA or above, make sure
you use the power supply which comes with the device).
The USB 3.0 ports are denoted by their blue
ports are colored black. USB 3.0 will transfer data much faster
than USB 2.0, and is backwards-compatible with USB 2.0.
Note: The powered USB 3.0 port function is designed to help
charge USB compliant devices, but is not designed to allow
their operation.
You can use the ports on both
the computer and the docking
station when the system is
docked.
