Knowing the Parts
The following describes the components on the right side of the Notebook PC as shown by the illustra-
tion above.
Optical Drive
This Notebook PC comes in many models with three optical drives to choose from. Available configu-
rations are CD-ROM, CD-RW, or DVD-ROM drive. The eject button is electronic and requires that the
Notebook PC be turned ON for it to function. You can also eject the tray through any software CD/DVD
player or by right clicking the CD icon in Windows™ “My Computer.” The emergency eject (insert a
straightened paper clip into the hole next to the eject button) is used to eject the tray in case the elec-
tronic eject does not work. Do not use this in place of the electronic eject or as a substitute to turning on
the Notebook PC and using the electronic eject button.
IEEE1394 Port
Also known as iLINK (Sony) or FireWire (Apple). IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but
has simple connections and hot-plugging capabilities like USB. The interface IEEE1394 has a band-
width of 100-400 Mbits/sec and can handle up to 63 units on the same bus. It is very likely that IEEE1394,
together with USB, will replace Parallel, IDE, SCSI, and EIDE ports. IEEE1394 is also used in high-
end
digital equipment and should be marked “DV” for Digital Video port.
