ONNECTION PTIONS
The Notebook has a number of input and output interfaces for
connection of peripheral devices such as a printer, scanner, key-
board, and so on. This section presents the individual ports. For
further information, refer to page 19, where the positions of the
respective ports are described.
PS/2 I
NTERFACE
This port is used to connect devices that use the PS/2-Standard, such
as keyboards and pointing devices.
P I
ARALLEL NTERFACE
You can connect a printer or a device such as a scanner or ZIP
drive to this 25-pin parallel interface. The parallel interface sup-
ports Standard/EPP/ECP. You can set the desired mode in the
computer's BIOS, though this parameter will already be correctly
preset.
U S B (USB) P
NIVERSAL ERIAL US ORT
USB ports provide an easy way to connect many peripheral devices to
your PC. You can use any USB device with any USB port. USB ports
are located on both the front and back panels of the PC for your con-
venience. Some USB devices require that you reinstall software driv-
ers when you connect the device to a different USB port than the one
originally used. This can be avoided by always using the device with
the same USB port. Devices connected directly to the USB bus should
not draw more than 500 mA. Should the devices need more power
than this, it will be necessary to provide a hub (distributor / booster).
The data transfer speed is 1.5 Mbit or 12 Mbit, depending on the de-
vice connected.
