Using the Notebook PC

Monitor Out Connection

Connecting an external monitor is just like on a stan-

dard desktop PC. Just plug in the VGA cable and its

ready to use (some Notebook PC configurations may

require additional display driver settings). You can

view the Notebook PC display panel while simulta-

neously allowing others to view the external moni-

tor. For large audiences, try connecting a computer

video projector.

Printer Connection

This Notebook PC provides a parallel port that al-

lows you to connect devices such as injet/laser print-

ers, hard drives, removable drives, or scanners. Al-

ternatively, one or more USB printers can be con-

nected directly to any USB port.

IEEE1394 Connection

IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but

has simple connections and hot-plugging capabili-

ties like USB. Up to 63 devices such as hard disk

drives, scanners, and removable drives with an

IEEE1394 port can all be connected instead of using

traditional Parallel, IDE, SCSI, or EIDE ports.

IEEE1394 is also used in high-end digital equipment

and should be marked “DV” for Digital Video port.
