Knowing the Parts

Rear Side

Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on the rear side of the Notebook PC.

WARNING! The built-in modem does not support the voltage used in digital phone
systems. Do not connect the modem port to a digital phone system or else damage
will occur to the Notebook PC.

Expansion Port

The Expansion Port is for connection to an optional external port replicator to provide a docking solu-
tion to desktop peripherals. More details given later.

LAN Port

The RJ-45 LAN port supports an RJ-45 Ethernet cable. The internal LAN supports 10Base-T or 100Base-
TX standard or duplex networks. The built-in connector allows convenient use without a dongle.

Modem Port

The RJ-11 telephone port supports an RJ-11 telephone cable. The internal modem supports up to 56K
V.90 transfers. The built-in connector allows convenient use without a dongle.

USB Ports (1.1 & 2.0)

Universal Serial Bus (USB) supports many USB compatible devices such as keyboards, pointing de-
vices, video cameras, modems, hard disk drives, printers, monitors, 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 simulta-
neously 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 turned ON.
