Knowing the Parts
Kensington ® Lock Port
The Kensington ® lock port allows the Notebook PC to be secured using Kensington ®
compatible Notebook PC security products. These security products usually include
a metal cable and lock that prevent the Notebook PC to be removed from a
fixed object. Some may also include a motion detector to sound an alarm when
moved.
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! Ensure that paper, books, clothing, cables, or other objects
do not block any of the air vents or else overheating may occur.
Display (Monitor) Output
The 15-pin D-sub monitor port supports a standard VGA-compatible device such as a moni-
tor or projector to allow viewing on a larger external display.
