Using the Notebook PC

IEEE1394 Connection

IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but
has simple connections and hot-plugging capabilities
like USB. Up to 63 devices such as hard disk drives,
scanners, and removable drives with an IEEE1394
port can all be connected instead of using traditional
Parallel, IDE, SCSI, or EIDE ports. IEEE1394 is also
used in high-end digital equipment and should be
marked “DV” for Digital Video port.

Monitor Out Connection

Connecting an external monitor is just like on a
standard desktop PC. Just plug in the VGA cable and
its ready to use (some Notebook PC configurations
may require additional display driver settings). You
can view the Notebook PC display panel while
simultaneously allowing others to view the external
monitor. For large audiences, try connecting a
computer video projector.

Printer Connection

This Notebook PC provides a parallel port that allows
you to connect devices such as injet/laser printers,
hard drives, removable drives, or scanners.
Alternatively, one or more USB printers can be
connected directly to any USB port.
