External Monitor Port The 15-pin D-sub monitor port supports a standard VGA-compatible device such as a monitor or projector 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 display. This feature can really increase your productivity! Docking Port The docking port is for connection to an optional proprietary PortDock or PortBar. This port also supports connection of the supplied floppy disk drive module using the supplied floppy cable. Air Vent & Cooling Fan The cooling fan turns ON when the temperature rises past a set threshold. The cooling fan is an extra feature needed for upgrading to faster processors in the future. The air vents allow cool air to enter and warm air to exit the Notebook PC. Do not block the air vents or else overheating may occur! 23
