Universal Serial Bus
(USB) Ports
The Universal Serial Bus (USB 2.0) ports enable
chain connection of a number of USB-equipped
devices. For example, you might connect a
USB-HUB to the computer, then connect a
keyboard to the USB-HUB and a mouse to the
keyboard.
Modem Jack In areas where an internal modem is installed as
standard equipment, there is a modem jack that
lets you use a modular cable to connect the
modem directly to a telephone line. The modem
is not supported in some marketing regions.
In case of a lightning storm, unplug the modem cable from the telephone
jack.
Do not connect the modem to a digital telephone line. A digital line will
damage the modem.
Ether
LAN Jack This jack lets you connect to a LAN. The adaptor
has built-in support for Ethernet LAN (10
megabits per second, 10BASE-T) and Fast
Ethernet LAN (100 megabits per second,
100BASE-Tx).
Do not cover the cooling vent or otherwise obstruct it. Doing so may
cause the computer to overheat and result in damage.
Parallel Port This Centronics-compatible 25-pin parallel port
is used to connect a parallel printer or other
parallel device. This port supports Extended
Capabilities Port (ECP) standard.
External Monitor Port This 15-pin port lets you connect an external
video display to the computer.
