To Connect a 1394 Device

(Select Models Only)

If your notebook has a 1394 port (also known as firewire), you can use it to connect devices such as audio and video equipment, disk drives, printers, and other notebooks.

Attach the device cable to the 1394 port. Windows automatically recognizes the device.

The 1394 port is a 4-wire port. If you want to connect a device that has a 6-wire plug, you can purchase a simple adapter if the device is unpowered, or a hub if the device requires power.

✎If you have problems making this connection, go to the device manufacturer Web site for the latest version of the driver for the device.

To Connect an Infrared Device (Select Models Only)

✎Select models include an infrared port. By default, the infrared port is enabled.

If your model has an infrared port (a small, rectangular lens located on the front of the notebook), then your notebook has wireless serial communication capability. That is, your notebook and other infrared devices, such as printers or other notebooks, can communicate wirelessly using this port.
