2. Knowing the Parts

Parallel Port

The 25-pin D-sub parallel/printer port supports parallel devices such as a printer or a removable drive.

External Monitor Port

The 15-pin D-sub monitor port supports a standard VGA-compatible device such as a monitor or pro-
jector to allow viewing on a larger external display. An external monitor can also be used for dual-view
or dual-application support to allow referencing data on one display while working on the other dis-
play. This feature can really increase your productivity!

Docking Port

The docking port is for connection to an optional proprietary PortDock or PortBar. This port also
supports connection of the supplied floppy disk drive module using the supplied floppy cable.
Air Vent & 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!
