2. Knowing the Parts
NOTE: The built-in modem and fast-Ethernet is also available by a dealer (not by user)
upgrade if you did not choose them at the time of purchase. A modem and/or LAN can
be user-installed as a PCMCIA card.
WARNING! The built-in modem does not support the voltage used in digital phone
systems. Do not connect the modem port to a digital phone system or else damage
will occur to the Notebook PC.
External 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. An external monitor can also be used for dual-view
or dual-application support to allow referencing data on one display while working on the other dis-
play. This feature can really increase your productivity!
TV-Out Port
For times when you need a really big display, try the TV-Out function. TV-Out allows a high definition
connection to a television or video device using a Super VHS (S-Video) cable (not provided). An
adapter is provided for use with RCA inputs available on all standard video devices. This port support
NTSC or PAL formats.
PS/2 Port
The PS/2 port is for connecting an external PS/2 mouse or PS/2 keyboard to the Notebook PC if you do
not want to use the built-in pointing device and keyboard. Simultaneous use requires the optional PS/2
Y-adapter.
USB Port
Universal Serial Bus (USB) supports many USB compatible devices such as keyboards, pointing de-
vices, video cameras, modems, hard disk drives, printers, monitors, and scanners connected in a series
up to 12Mbits/sec. In order to connect more USB devices, you can purchase a third party USB hub.
USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that peripherals can be connected or disconnected while the
Notebook PC is ON.
