Knowing the Parts
Left Side
Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on this side of the Notebook PC.
Kensington ® Lock Port
The Kensington ® lock port allows the Notebook PC to be secured using Kensington ® compatible Note-
book PC security products. These security products usually include a metal cable and lock that prevent
the Notebook PC to be removed from a fixed object. Some security products may also include a motion
detector to sound an alarm when moved.
Optical Drive
The Notebook PC comes in various models with different optical drives. The Notebook PC’s optical
drive may support compact discs (CD) and/or digital video discs (DVD) and may have recordable (R)
or re-writable (RW) capabilities. See the marketing specifications for details on each model.
Infrared Port (Standard Infrared)
The standard infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication
with infrared-equipped devices or computers. This allows easy wireless synchronization with PDAs or
mobile phones and even wireless printing. If your office supports IrDA networking, you can have
wireless connection to a network anywhere provided there is a direct line of sight to an IrDA node.
1394 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.
