1 Power connector
The power connector enables you to connect the computer to ac power.
2
USB-C connector (Thunderbolt 3 compatible)
The USB-C connector on your computer supports both the USB Type-C™ standard and the Thunderbolt 3
technology. With an appropriate USB-C cable connected, you can use the connector to transfer data, charge
your device, or connect your computer to external displays.
The USB-C connector also works as the power connector. The ac power adapter shipped with some models
of the computer is a USB-C power adapter. Use the shipped USB-C power adapter and power cord to
connect the computer to ac power through the USB-C connector.
Lenovo provides various USB-C accessories to help you expand your computer functionality. For more

Note: When the battery power is below 10%, the USB-C accessories connected to the USB-C connector
might not work correctly.

Mini Ethernet connector
The mini Ethernet connector makes your computer thinner than the ones with a standard Ethernet connector.
To connect your computer to a local area network (LAN) through the mini Ethernet connector, you need an
Ethernet extension adapter. The Ethernet extension adapter is available as an option and shipped with some
computer models. For information about using and purchasing the Ethernet extension adapter, see "Cabled
Ethernet connections" on page 29.
DANGER
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not connect the telephone cable to the Ethernet extension
adapter.
4 Always On USB 3.0 connector
By default, the Always On USB 3.0 connector enables you to charge the USB-compatible devices in the
following situations:
• When your computer is on or in sleep mode
• When your computer is off or in hibernation mode, but connected to ac power
Attention: When you attach a USB cable to this connector, ensure that the USB mark is facing upward.
Otherwise the connector might get damaged.
