ExpressCard Slot
One 26pin Express card slot is available to support one ExpressCard/34mm or one
ExpressCard/54mm 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.)
The dummy expansion card that comes with the Notebook PC can function as a
memory card holder (on selected models), which protects the conductors of your flash memory card.
SPDIF Output Jack
This jack provides connection to SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) compliant de-
vices for digital audio output. Use this feature to turn the Notebook PC into a hi-fi home
entertainment system.
Headphone Output Jack
The stereo headphone jack (1/8 inch) is used to connect the Notebook PC’s audio out signal to
amplified speakers or headphones. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in speakers.
Combo
Microphone Input Jack
The mono microphone jack (1/8 inch) can be used to connect an external microphone or out-
put signals from audio devices. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in microphone.
Use this feature for video conferencing, voice narrations, or simple audio recordings.
