UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB) PORT
The computer's USB (Universal Serial Bus) port located on the rear panel allows you to connect
peripherals without occupying too many resources. Common USB devices include the mouse and
keyboard.
FAST INFRARED (FIR) PORT
The computer's FIR (fast infrared) port located on the rear panel allows you to transfer data to IR-
aware machines without cables. For example, you can transfer data between two IR-capable
computers, or send data to an IR-aware printer without using a cable.
The infrared port is IrDA-compliant, and can transfer data at speeds of up to 4 megabits per second
(Mbps) at a distance of up to one meter.
When the two computers are in position, simply begin the data transfer as you normally would. See
your file transfer software for details.
