PC Card (PCMCIA) Socket DC IN K 2 USB Ports Fast IrDA Port Air Vent Hard Drive Compartment (see bottom side) DC Power Input Jack Kensington® Lock Port Kensington® Lock Port K The Kensington® lock port allows the Notebook PC to be secured using Kensington® compatible Notebook 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. DCIN DC Power Input Jack 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. USB Ports Universal Serial Bus (USB) supports many USB compatible 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 allows up to 127 devices to run simultaneously on a single computer, with peripherals such as USB keyboards and some newer monitors acting as additional plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that peripherals can be connected or disconnected while the Notebook PC is ON. Fast Infrared Port (IrDA) The fast infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication with infrared-equipped devices or computers up to 4 Mbits/sec. This allows easy wireless synchronization with PDAs or mobile phones and even wireless printing to printers. If your office supports IrDA networking, you can have wireless connection to a network anywhere provided there is a direct line of sight to an IrDA node. Small offices can use IrDA technology to share a printer between several closely placed Notebook PCs and even send files to each other without a network. PC Card (PCMCIA) Socket and Eject One PCMCIA 2.1 compliant socket for one type I/II PC card is available. The socket supports 32-bit CardBus. This allows accommodation of all Notebook PC expansion options such as memory cards, ISDN, SCSI, Smart Cards, and wireless network adapters. 18
