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.)

Display (Monitor) Output

The 15-pin D-sub monitor port supports a standard VGA-compatible device such as a monitor

or projector to allow viewing on a larger external display.

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.

Air Vents

The air vents allow cool air to enter and warm air to exit the Notebook PC.

IMPORTANT! Make sure that paper, books, clothing, cables, or other objects

do not block any of the air vents or else overheating may occur.

HDMI Port

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an uncompressed all-digital audio/

video interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player,

and A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television

(DTV). Supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel

digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports 8-

channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements or requirements.
