2.0 USB Ports (1.1 & 2.0)
Universal Serial Bus (USB) supports many USB compatible devices such as keyboards, pointing de-
vices, video cameras, modems, hard disk drives, printers, monitors, 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 simulta-
neously on a single computer, with peripherals such as USB keyboards and some newer monitors
acting as additional plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that peripherals can
be connected or disconnected while the Notebook PC is turned ON.
Optical Drive Eject and Emergency Eject
The optical drive eject is an electronic eject button for opening the tray. You can also eject the optical
drive tray through any CD/VCD/DVD software player or by right clicking the optical drive in Win-
dows™ “My Computer.” The emergency eject is used to eject the optical drive tray in case the elec-
tronic eject does not work. Do not use the emergency eject in place of the electronic eject.
Flash Memory Card Reader
The built-in memory card reader can read the following flash memory cards: Secure Digital (SD),
Multi-Media Card (MMC), Memory Stick (MS), Memory Stick Select (MS Select), Memory Stick
Duo (with MS adapter), Memory Stick Pro, and Memory Stick Pro Duo (with MS Pro adapter).
1394 IEEE1394 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.
