Knowing the Parts

IEEE134 Port

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.

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 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.

Optical Drive Electronic Eject

The optical drive eject has an electronic eject button for opening the tray. You can also eject

the optical drive tray through any software player or by right clicking the optical drive in

Windows “My Computer.”

Optical Drive Emergency Eject

(location varies by model)

The emergency eject is used to eject the optical drive tray in case the electronic eject does

not work. Do not use the emergency eject in place of the electronic eject.

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 allows

convenient use without additional adapters.

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 digital

phone systems. Do not connect the modem port to a digital phone system or

else damage will occur to the Notebook PC.
