Knowing the Parts

Left Side

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

LAN Port

The RJ-45 LAN port with eight pins is larger than the RJ-11 modem port and sup-
ports a standard Ethernet cable for connection to a local network. The built-in con-
nector 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 sup-
ports a standard telephone cable. The internal modem supports up to 56K V.90 trans-
fers. The built-in connector allows convenient use without additional adapters.

IEEE1394 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 Universal Serial Bus is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as
keyboards, pointing devices, cameras, hard disk drives, printers, and scanners con-
nected 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 peripherals such as USB key-
boards and some newer monitors 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.
