ExpressCard Slot
One 26pin Express card slot is available to support one ExpressCard/34mm or one
ExpressCard/54mm expansion card. This new interface is faster by using a serial bus
supporting USB 2.0 and PCI Express instead of the slower parallel bus used in the PC
card slot. (Not compatible with previous PCMCIA cards.)

E-SATA/
Flash Memory Slot
Normally an external memory card reader must be purchased separately in order to use
memory cards from devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones, and
PDAs. This Notebook PC has a built-in high-speed memory card reader that can conveniently
read from and write to many flash memory cards as mentioned later in this manual.
SPDIF Output Jack
This jack provides connection to SPDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) compliant de-
vices for digital audio output. Use this feature to turn the Notebook PC into a hi-fi home
entertainment system.
Headphone Output Jack
The stereo headphone jack (1/8 inch) is used to connect the Notebook PC’s audio out signal to
amplified speakers or headphones. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in speakers.
Combo
Microphone Input Jack
The mono microphone jack (1/8 inch) can be used to connect an external microphone or output
signals from audio devices. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in microphone. Use
this feature for video conferencing, voice narrations, or simple audio recordings.

originally designed for use inside the computer. It is up to six times faster than
existing USB 2.0, & 1394 for external storage solutions and is also hot plug-
gable using shielded cables and connectors up to two meters. (See “USB Port”
on other sides for description.)
