Rear Component Descriptions
The following describes the components on the rear side of the Notebook PC as shown by the
illustration above.
Serial Port
The 9-pin D-sub serial port supports serial devices such as a drawing tablet, mouse, or modem.
Parallel Port
The 25-pin D-sub parallel/printer port supports parallel devices such as a printer or a removable
drive.
VGA Port
The 15-pin D-sub VGA port supports a standard VGA-compatible device such as a monitor or
projector.
Cooling Fan
The cooling fan turns on when the temperature rises past a set threshold. The cooling fan is an extra
feature needed for upgrading to faster processors in the future. Do not block the vent!
PS/2 Port
The PS/2 port is for connecting an external PS/2 mouse or PS/2 keyboard to the Notebook PC if you
do not want to use the built-in pointing device and keyboard. Simultaneous use requires the in-
cluded Y-adapter.
USB Port
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) port supports several USB compatible devices such as keyboards,
pointers, modems, and printers connected in series.
