Knowing the Parts
Rear Side
Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on the rear side of the Notebook PC.
The following describes the components on the rear side of the Notebook PC as shown by the illustra-
tion above.
Air Vent and Cooling Fan
The cooling fan turns ON when the temperature rises past a set threshold. The cooling fan is an extra
feature needed for upgrading to faster processors in the future. The air vents allow cool air to enter and
warm air to exit the Notebook PC. Do not block the air vents or else overheating may occur!
Modem Port

V.90 transfers. The built-in connector allows convenient use without a dongle.
WARNING! The built-in modem does not support the voltage used in digital phone
systems. Do not connect the modem port to a digital phone system or else damage
will occur to the Notebook PC.
LAN Port
The RJ-45 LAN port supports an RJ-45 Ethernet cable. The internal LAN supports 10Base-T or 100Base-
TX standard or duplex networks. The built-in connector allows convenient use without a dongle.
