Direct Flash Indicator

The direct flash indicator blinks when Microsoft DirectX 9/10 (used with most games) is running. Use the provided Direct Console software (see indicators) to enable or disable this function.

LAN Port

The RJ-45 LAN port with eight pins is larger than the RJ-11 modem port and supports a standard Ethernet cable for connection to a local network. The built-in connector allows convenient use without additional adapters.

Modem Port

The RJ-11 modem port with two pins is smaller than the RJ-45 LAN port and supports a standard telephone cable. The internal modem supports up to 56K V.90 transfers. The

3 built-in connector allows convenient use without additional adapters.

IMPORTANT! The built-in modem does not support the voltage used in digital phone systems. Do not connect the modem port to a digital phone system or else damage will occur to the Notebook PC.

USB Port (2.0/1.1) (on selected models)

 

 

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.

Audio/Video (AV/S) Input (on selected models)

The audio video input is a way of inputting audio and video signals through RCA jacks or S- Video (requires the RCAadapter included with selected models). This function only works when purchased with the TV tuner hardware and software package.
