Modem Port
The RJ-11 telephone port supports an RJ-11 telephone cable. The internal modem supports up to 56K
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.
USB Ports (1.1 & 2.0)
Universal Serial Bus (USB) supports many USB compatible devices such as keyboards, pointing de-
vices, video cameras, modems, hard disk drives, printers, monitors, 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 simulta-
neously on a single computer, with peripherals such as USB keyboards and some newer monitors
acting as additional plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that peripherals
can be connected or disconnected while the Notebook PC is turned ON.
Expansion Port
The Expansion Port is for connection to an optional external port replicator to provide a docking solu-
tion to desktop peripherals. More details given later.
