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.
Monitor Port
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.
Parallel Port
The 25-pin D-sub parallel/printer port supports native parallel devices such as laser/inkjet printers, or
parallel-adapted device such as external hard drives, removable drives, or scanners.
Air Vents
The air vents allow cool air to enter and warm air to exit the Notebook PC.
IMPORTANT! Make sure that paper, books, clothing, cables, or other objects do not
block any of the air vents or else overheating of the Notebook PC may occur.
