SERIAL PORT

The serial port, or COM port, located on the system and on the optional Port Replicator allows you to connect serial devices, such as printers or scanners. In order to connect a serial interface device follow these easy steps:

1.Align the connector with the port opening.

2.Push the connector into the port until it is seated (Figure 4-15).

3.Tighten the two hold-down screws, located on each side of the connector.

PORT REPLICATOR CONNECTOR

The port replicator connector is used for the connection of your notebook to an optional port replicator. In order to connect your notebook to this device, follow the instructions that came with your port replicator. (See Figure 2-8 on page 11 for location)

UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS PORTS

The Universal Serial Bus 2.0 ports (USB) allow you to connect USB devices such as external game pads, pointing devices, keyboards and/or speakers. There are four USB 2.0 ports on your notebook: one on the right side and three on the rear.

In order to connect a USB device follow these steps:

1.Align the connector with the port opening.(Figure 4- 16)

2.Push the connector into the port until it is seated.

Due to the ongoing changes in USB tech- nology and standards, not all USB devices and/or drivers are guaranteed to work.

INFRARED PORT

The Infrared IrDA (4Mbps) port allows for wireless data transfer between your notebook and other IrDA- compatible devices, such as another computer or a printer, without the use of a cable. The infrared port is located adjacent to the wireless LAN switch (See Figure 2-4 on page 7 for location)

It is important to keep in mind that while carrying out this form of communication, both devices must be placed so their infrared ports are directly facing each other without obstruction. The devices must also be separated by at least 6" but no more than 36" for maximum performance.

The following conditions may interfere with infrared communications:

■A television, radio remote control unit, or a wireless headphone is being used nearby.

■Direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or incandescent light shines directly on the port.

■Do not move either device while com- munication is active as it may interrupt data transmission.

■Be careful not to scratch the infrared port lens. Dirt, scratches, or other sur- face marks can degrade operation.

IEEE 1394 PORT

The 4-pin 1394 port allows you to connect digital devices that are compliant with IEEE 1394 standard. The IEEE 1394 standard is easy to use, connect, and discon- nect. This port can allow up to 400 Mbps transfer rate. A third-party application may be required to operate your digital device with the 1394 port.

The 1394 port used in this system uses a four-pin configuration. If you intend to interface with devices which use a six-pin configuration, you will need to purchase an adapter.
