Knowing the Parts
2.0
USB Port (2.0/1.1) (on selected models)
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 peripherals 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.
Modem Port
The RJ-11 modem port with two pins is smaller than the RJ-45 LAN port and supports
a standard telephone cable. The internal modem supports up to 56K V.90 transfers. The
built-in connector allows convenient use without additional adapters.
IMPORTANT! The built-in modem does not support the voltage used in digi-
tal phone systems. Do not connect the modem port to a digital phone system
or else damage will occur to the Notebook PC.
LAN Port
The RJ-45 LAN port with eight pins is larger than the RJ-11 modem port and supports
a standard Ethernet cable for connection to a local network. The built-in connector al-
lows convenient use without additional adapters.

IEEE134 Port (on selected models)
IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has simple connections and hot-
plugging capabilities like USB. The interface IEEE1394 has a bandwidth of 100-400
Mbits/sec and can handle up to 63 units on the same bus. IEEE1394 is also used in
high-end digital equipment and should be marked “DV” for Digital Video port.
