Battery Pack
The battery pack is automatically charged when the Notebook PC is connected to an AC
power source and maintains power to the Notebook PC when AC power is not connected.
This allows use when moving temporarily between locations. Battery time varies by usage
and by the specifications for this Notebook PC. The battery pack cannot be disassembled
and must be purchased as a single unit.
Kensington ® Lock Port
The Kensington ® lock port allows the Notebook PC to be secured using Kensington ®
compatible Notebook PC security products. These security products usually include
a metal cable and lock that prevent the Notebook PC to be removed from a
fixed object. Some may also include a motion detector to sound an alarm when
moved.
USB Port (2.0/1.1)
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such
as keyboards, pointing devices, cameras, hard disk drives, printers, 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 simultaneously on a single computer, with some peripherals acting as additional plug-in
sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that most peripherals can be connected or
disconnected without restarting the computer.
LAN Port
The RJ-45 LAN port with eight pins is larger than the RJ-11 modem port and supports
a standard Ethernet cable for connection to a local network. The built-in connector al-
lows convenient use without additional adapters.
