Lenovo X230I manual Security keyhole, Hard disk drive or solid state drive, Combo audio jack

1

Security keyhole

Purchase a security cable lock that fits this keyhole to lock your computer to a stationary object to protect your computer from theft.

2

Hard disk drive or solid state drive

Depending on the model, your computer might have a large-capacity, customer-upgradable hard disk drive that can meet a variety of storage demands.

Some models are equipped with a solid state drive for data storage, making your computer lighter, smaller, and faster.

Note: The hidden service partition is the reason why there is less free space than expected on your hard disk drive or solid state drive. This reduction is more noticeable on the solid state drive because of its smaller capacity.

3

Combo audio jack

To listen to the sound from your computer, connect a headphone or a headset that has a 3.5 mm 4-pole plug to the combo audio jack.

Notes:

•If you are using a headset with a function switch, for example, a headset for an iPhone® mobile digital device, do not press this switch while using the headset. If you press it, the headset microphone will be disabled, and the integrated microphones on the computer will be enabled instead.

•The combo audio jack does not support a conventional microphone. For more information, see “Using audio features” on page 40.

4

Ethernet connector

Connect your computer to a LAN with the Ethernet connector.

DANGER

To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not connect the telephone cable to the Ethernet connector. You can only connect an Ethernet cable to this connector.

Two indicators, to the upper right and left of the connector, show the status of the network connection. When your computer connects to a LAN and a session with the network is available, the upper left indicator is steady green. While data is being transmitted, the upper right indicator blinks yellow.

Note: If you attach your computer to a ThinkPad Ultrabase, docking station, or replicator, use the Ethernet connector on the Ultrabase, docking station, or replicator to connect to a LAN, not the one on the computer.

5

Always On USB connector

By default, the Always On USB connector enables you to charge some devices, such as iPod®, iPhone, and BlackBerry® smartphones when your computer is in sleep or hibernation mode.

If you want to charge these devices when your computer is turned off, you need to connect the computer to ac power supply and change the Always On USB settings in ThinkPad Setup and the Power Manager program. For more information, see “Config menu” on page 109.
