Did you know...

Your Notebook is equipped with various ports

that can be used to connect external desktop peripherals. One of
these ports is the 1394 port, also known as Firewire. The 1394
port allows high-speed data transfer between your Notebook and
external professional or consumer electronic devices such as
digital camcorders.

Most hardware devices are plug-and-play compliant. Windows
will locate the proper device driver or prompt you to insert the
media provided by your hardware manufacturer. Follow the
on-screen instructions and use any floppy disk or CD that has
been provided by your hardware manufacturer.

You may need to restart your Notebook for the new hardware to
be recognized.
