Knowing the Parts
E-SATA Port (on selected models)
External SATA or eSATA allows external connection of Serial-ATA devices originally
designed for use inside the computer. It is up to six times faster than existing USB 2.0,
& 1394 for external storage solutions and is also hot pluggable using shielded cables and
connectors up to two meters.
E-SATA
Power (DC) Input
The supplied power adapter converts AC power to DC power for use with this jack. Power sup-
plied through this jack supplies power to the Notebook PC and charges the internal battery pack.
To prevent damage to the 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.

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.
E-SATA port does not supply power. You need to connect both E-SATA cable and
USB cable to the Notebook PC when using an E-SATA device.
