USB Port (2.0/1.1)
The Universal Serial Bus is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as
keyboards, pointing devices, cameras, hard disk drives, printers, and scanners con-
nected 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 peripherals such as USB key-
boards and some newer monitors 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.

Notebook PC’s optical drive may support compact discs (CD) and/or digital

ties. See the marketing specifications for details on each model.

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.)
