Knowing the Parts
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 allows convenient use without additional adapters.
Modem Port
The RJ-11 modem port with two pins is smaller than the RJ-45 LAN port and sup-
ports a standard telephone cable. The internal modem supports up to 56K V.90 trans-
fers. The built-in connector allows convenient use without additional adapters.
IMPORTANT! The built-in modem does not support the voltage used in digital
phone systems. Do not connect the modem port to a digital phone system or else
damage will occur to the Notebook PC.
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.

IEEE134 Port
IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has simple connections and hot-
plugging capabilities like USB. The interface IEEE1394 has a bandwidth of 100-400
Mbits/sec and can handle up to 63 units on the same bus. IEEE1394 is also used in
high-end digital equipment and should be marked “DV” for Digital Video port.
Power (DC) Output (for external optical drive)
This port supplies power to an external optical disk drive using the provided cable.
