ExpressCard Slot
One 26pin Express card slot is available to support one ExpressCard/34mm expansion card.
This new interface is faster by using a serial bus supporting USB 2.0 and PCI Express instead
of the slower parallel bus used in the PC card slot. (Not compatible with previous PCMCIA
cards.)
Optical Drive
The Notebook PC comes in various models with different optical drives. The Note-
book PC’s optical drive may support compact discs (CD) and/or digital video discs
(DVD) and may have recordable (R) or re-writable (RW) capabilities. See the market-
ing specifications for details on each model.
2.0
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.
Wireless Switch
Enables or disables the built-in wireless LAN and Bluetooth (selected models). When
enabled, the wireless status indicator will light. Windows software settings are neces-
sary before use.
