The LAN port lets you connect the computer to a local area

 

Ether

 

 

 

 

 

network using a 10/100 Ethernet link via a standard Ethernet®

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

network cable.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The PS/2® port allows you to connect an optional

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PS/2-compatible mouse or external keyboard. An optional “Y”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

cable enables you to connect both a PS/2 mouse and a PS/2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

keyboard to the port.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The TV-out jack allows you to connect a television or other video

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

output device.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The infrared port allows cable-free communication with another

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

device, such as a computer or printer, that has a compatible

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

infrared port.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not use the infrared

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

port at the same time as either playing audio or connecting

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to the internet via a modem. Audio quality may be reduced

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and the modem connection may be slower or disrupted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The 3.5 mm microphone jack lets you connect an external monaural microphone or other audio-input device.
