Knowing the Parts
Left Side
Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on the left side of the Notebook PC.
Audio Input Jack (Audio-In)
The stereo input jack (1/8 inch) can be used to connect a stereo audio source to the Notebook PC. This
feature is used mainly to add audio to multimedia applications.
PC Card Slot
The PCMCIA 2.1 compliant PC Card slot supports one type I or type II PC card. The slot supports a 16-
bit PC card or 32-bit CardBus. This allows accommodation of Notebook PC expansion options such as
ISDN, SCSI, Smart Cards, and wireless network adapters.
Headphone Output Jack (Head-Out)
The stereo headphone jack (1/8 inch) is used to connect the Notebook PC’s audio out signal to ampli-
fied speakers or headphones. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in speakers.
Microphone Input Jack (Mic-In)
The mono microphone jack (1/8 inch) can be used to connect an external “mono” microphone or “mono”
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.
DC Power Input Jack
The supplied power adapter converts AC power to DC power for use with this jack. Power supplied
through this jack supplies power to the Notebook PC and charges the internal battery pack. To prevent
damage to the Notebook PC and battery pack, always use the supplied power adapter.
1394 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.
