Knowing the Parts
Right Side
Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on this side of the Notebook PC.
1
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.)
Audio Volume Control
2
Audio volume (stereo speakers and headphone jack) can be instantly adjusted using this physi-
cal dial in order to make listening to audio CD's or watching movies more convenient.
Microphone Input Jack
3
The mono microphone jack (1/8 inch) can be used to connect an external microphone or output
signals from audio devices. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in microphone.
Use this feature for video conferencing, voice narrations, or simple audio recordings.
SPDIF Output Jack
4
This jack provides connection to SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) compliant devices
for digital audio output. Use this feature to turn the Notebook PC into a hi-fi home enter-
tainment system.
Headphone Output Jack
The stereo headphone jack (1/8 inch) is used to connect the Notebook PC's audio out signal to
amplified speakers or headphones. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in speakers.
USB Port (2.0/1.1)
5
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 simul-
taneously 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.
