2 Knowing the Parts
Rear Side
Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on this side of the Notebook PC.
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.
Display (Monitor) Output
The 15-pin D-sub monitor port supports a standard VGA-compatible device such as a monitor or pro-
jector to allow viewing on a larger external display.
