2 Knowing the Parts
Right Side
Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on this side of the Notebook PC.
ExpressCard Slot
One 26pin Express card slot is available to support one ExpressCard/34mm or one
ExpressCard/54mm expansion card. This new interface is faster by using a serial bus
supporting USB 2.0 and PCI Express instead of the slower parallel bus used in the PC
card slot. (Not compatible with previous PCMCIA cards.)
IEEE1394 Port
IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has simple connections and hot-
plugging capabilities like USB. The interface IEEE1394 has a bandwidth of 100-400
Mbits/sec and can handle up to 63 units on the same bus. IEEE1394 is also used in
high-end digital equipment and should be marked “DV” for Digital Video port.
TV-Out Port
The TV-Out port is an S-Video connector that allows routing the Notebook
PC’s display to a television or video projection device. You can choose between
simultaneously or single display. Use an S-Video cable (not provided) for high
quality displays or use the provided RCA to S-Video adapter for standard video
devices. This port supports both NTSC and PAL formats.
Display (DVI-D) Output (on selected models)
The Digital Video Interface port is designed to maximize video graphics output to at
panel LCD monitors or other DVI-compliant device.

USB Port (2.0/1.1)
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as keyboards,
pointing devices, cameras, hard disk drives, printers, and scanners connected in a series up to 12Mbits/sec
(USB 1.1) and 480Mbits/sec (USB 2.0). USB allows many devices to run simul-
taneously on a single computer, with some peripherals acting as additional plug-in
sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that most peripherals can
be connected or disconnected without restarting the computer.
