The following illustration shows the connectors on the high-performance audio
adapter that comes with some models.
Description
Used to attach a joystick, gamepad, or a musical instrument digital interface
(MIDI) device such as a MIDI keyboard.
Used to send audio signals from the computer to external devices, such as
powered stereo speakers (speakers with built-in amplifiers), headphones,
multimedia keyboards, or the audio line in connector on a stereo system or other
external recording device.
Used to attach a microphone to your computer when you want to record voice or
use other speech-recognition software.
Used to receive audio signals from an external audio device, such as a stereo
system. When you attach an external audio device, run the cable between the
audio line out connector of the device and the audio line in connector of the
computer.
Some models have an asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL) modem for
high-speed communication. To use an ADSL modem, you must have the correct
telephone wiring in your home or office, and you must be enrolled with an ADSL
service provider.
Depending on how your home or office is wired, the ADSL modem uses either
wires 2 and 5 or wires 3 and 4 of the telephone-line wall connector. Refer to the
label on the back of the ADSL modem, and set the switch on the back of the ADSL
modem to match the wiring scheme. If you do not know which wiring scheme to
use, contact your ADSL service provider.
Some models have a Home Phoneline Network Alliance network adapter with an
integrated V.90 modem. In addition to its modem function, this adapter enables
you to use the telephone wiring in your home for peer-to-peer networking. To use
the Home PNA Network adapter, you must install the Intel AnyPoint
from the Software Selections CD. Each computer on the home PNA network must
have a PNA network adapter and the associated software installed. For
information about using the PNA network adapter or the AnyPoint software, refer
to the AnyPoint documentation (provided with models that come with PNA
network adapters only).
Connect each computer on a home PNA network directly to a telephone-line wall
connector. If you have more computers than telephone-line wall connectors in a
room, use a telephone splitter at the wall connector.
Actual network transfer speeds depend on many factors, such as home wiring
configuration, and are often less than the maximum possible.
