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 allows
convenient use without additional adapters.

Serial Port
The 9-pin D-sub serial port supports native serial devices such as a serial drawing tab-
lets, serial mouse, or serial modem. Serial devices have been slowly replaced by USB
devices.
Power (DC) Input (Power Station)
The supplied power adapter converts AC power to DC power for use with
this jack. Power supplied through this jack supplies power to the Power
Station, Notebook PC, and charges the Notebook PC’s battery pack. To
prevent damage to the Power Station, Notebook PC, and battery pack,
always use the supplied power adapter. CAUTION: MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE.
BE SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.
The Power Station has
its own power adapter.

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.
