Knowing the Parts
Right Side
Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on this side of the Notebook PC.
ExpressCard Slot
1
One 26pin Express card slot is available to support one ExpressCard/34mm or one
ExpressCard/54mm expansion card. This new interface is faster by using a serial bus
supporting USB 2.0 and PCI Express instead of the slower parallel bus used in the PC
card slot. (Not compatible with previous PCMCIA cards.)
VGA Performance Switch (on selected models)
2
The VGA performance switch can be used to save battery power when not using an AC power adapter.
Note: You must reboot the Notebook PC after changing this setting.
USB Port (2.0/1.1) (on selected models)
3
2.0
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as
keyboards, pointing devices, cameras, hard disk drives, printers, 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 simultaneously on a single computer, with some peripherals acting as additional plug-in sites or
hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that most peripherals can be connected or disconnected
without restarting the computer.
GPS Antenna Port (on selected models)
4
The GPS antenna port can accept an external GPS antenna for the built-in GPS receiver. Together,
the built-in GPS can be used with various navigation software applications. (Note: Satellite recep-
tion can only be used outdoors. Turn OFF when indoors to decrease use of Notebook PC resources.)
WARNING: DO NOT USE THE NOTEBOOK PC WHILE OPERATING MOTOR VEHICLES.
HDMI Port (on selected models)
5
HDMI
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an uncompressed all-digital audio/
video interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player,
and A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television
(DTV). Supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel
digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports
8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements or requirements.
