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.
2.0
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, 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
simultaneously on a single computer, with peripherals such as USB keyboards and some newer moni-
tors acting as additional plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that peripher-
als can be connected or disconnected without restarting the computer.
Power (DC) Input
The supplied power adapter converts AC power to DC power for use with this jack. Power supplied
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.
Microphone Input Jack (Mic In)
The mono microphone jack (1/8 inch) can be used to connect an external microphone or output signals
from audio devices. Use this feature for video conferencing, voice narrations, or simple audio recordings.
Headphone Output Jack (Phone Out)
The stereo headphone jack (1/8 inch) is used to connect the Notebook PC’s audio out signal to ampli-
fied speakers or headphones. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in speakers.
