Optional Connections (Cont.)

These items, if desired, may be purchased from third-parties.

IEEE1394 (on selected models)

1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has simple connections and hot-plugging capabilities like USB. Up to 63 devices such as hard disk drives, scanners, removable drives, and digital cameras/ video cameras with an 1394 port can all be connected (more 1394 devices can be connected using a 1394 hub). 1394 is also used in high-end digital equipment and should be marked “DV” for Digital Video port.

Printer Connection

One or more USB printers can be simultaneously used on any USB port or USB hub.

This model also includes a parallel interface for parallel printers or devices.

Securing Your Notebook PC

For system and hard disk drive security, see BIOS setup “Security”. A third party lock such as the ones by Kensington® can be used to secure your Notebook PC physically to an unmovable object. The cable wraps around an object and the “T” shaped end inserts into the Kensington® lock port as shown in this illustration and a key or combination dial is used to secure the lock in place.
