Knowing the Parts

Wireless Switch

Enables or disables the built-in wireless LAN and Bluetooth (selected models). When

enabled, the wireless status indicator will light. Windows software settings are neces-

sary before use.

2.0

USB Port (2.0/1.1)

The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices

such as keyboards, pointing devices, cameras, hard disk drives, printers, and scanners

connected in a series up to 12Mbits/sec (USB 1.1) and 480Mbits/sec (USB 2.0). USB

allows many devices to run simultaneously on a single computer, with some peripher-

als acting as additional plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices

so that most peripherals can be connected or disconnected without restarting the computer.

ExpressCard Slot

One 26pin Express card slot is available to support one ExpressCard/34mm or one

ExpressCard/54mm expansion card. This new interface is faster by using a serial bus

supporting USB 2.0 and PCI Express instead of the slower parallel bus used in the PC

card slot. (Not compatible with previous PCMCIA cards.)

Microphone Input Jack

The mono microphone jack (1/8 inch) can be used to connect an external microphone or out-

put signals from audio devices. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in microphone.

Use this feature for video conferencing, voice narrations, or simple audio recordings.

Headphone Output Jack

The stereo headphone jack (1/8 inch) is used to connect the Notebook PC’s audio out signal to

amplified speakers or headphones. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in speakers.
