E-SATAE-SATA Port

External SATA or eSATA allows external connection of Serial-ATA devices 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 pluggable using shielded cables and connectors up to two meters.

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.

8		SPDIF Output Jack
	Combo	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.

9 IEEE1394 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.

10 Antenna Input

The antenna input is for TV or FM Radio (on selected models) frequency signal and allows for use with the provided digital TV/FM antenna or input from subscription televi- sion services. The provided antenna can receive digital TV or FM radio. Cable service connection can receive digital TV, analog TV, or FM radio depending on paid services. NOTE: Use the provided adapter for use with coaxial connectors.

11	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.
12		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.) 17
