Using the Portable Desktop PC

4

IEEE1394 Connection

IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but
has simple connections and hot-plugging capabilities
like USB. Up to 63 devices such as hard disk drives,
scanners, and removable drives with an IEEE1394
port can all be connected instead of using traditional
Parallel, IDE, SCSI, or EIDE ports. IEEE1394 is also
used in high-end digital equipment and should be
marked “DV” for Digital Video port.

Monitor Out Connection

Connecting an external monitor is just like on a
standard desktop PC. Just plug in the VGA cable and
its ready to use (some Portable Desktop PC
configurations may require additional display driver
settings). You can view the Portable Desktop PC
display panel while simultaneously allowing others
to view the external monitor. For large audiences, try
connecting a computer video projector.

Printer Connection

This Portable Desktop PC provides a parallel port that
allows you to connect devices such as injet/laser
printers, hard drives, removable drives, or scanners.
Alternatively, one or more USB printers can be
connected directly to any USB port.
