Chapter 1. Getting to Know Your Computer

Optical drive

Your computer comes with an optical device, such as a DVD/CD recordable drive or a Blu-ray/DVD/CD drive.

For details, see “Using the optical drive” on page 25.

USB 2.0 port

The Universal Serial Bus is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as a keyboard, mouse, camera, hard disk drive, printer and scanner. USB allows devices to be connected and disconnected without rebooting the computer (hot swapping), and to allow specific classes of hardware to be used without requiring individual device drivers to be installed.

TV-in jack (Specific models only)

Use this jack to connect with TV signal cable through the provided TV adapter (Analog input supported).

For details, see “Using the TV function (Specific models only)” on page 28.

Security keyhole

Your computer comes with a security keyhole. You can purchase a security cable and lock to fit this keyhole.

Note:

Before purchasing any security product, verify that it is compatible with this type of security keyhole.
