Knowing the Parts 2

Right Side

Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on this side of the Notebook PC.

2.0

USB Port (2.0/1.1)

The Universal Serial Bus is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as keyboards, pointing

devices, video cameras, modems, hard disk drives, printers, monitors, 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

simultaneously on a single computer, with peripherals such as USB keyboards and some newer moni-

tors acting as additional plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that peripher-

als can be connected or disconnected without restarting the computer.

Optical Drive

The Notebook PC comes in various models with different optical drives. The Notebook PC’s optical

drive may support compact discs (CD) and/or digital video discs (DVD) and may have recordable (R)

or re-writable (RW) capabilities. See the marketing specifications for details on each model.

Flash Memory Slot

Normally a PCMCIA or USB memory card reader must be purchased separately in order to use memory

cards from devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones, and PDAs. This Notebook PC

has a built-in memory card reader that can read the following flash memory cards: Secure Digital (SD),

Multi-Media Card (MMC), Memory Stick (MS), Memory Stick Select (MS Select), Memory Stick Duo

(with MS adapter), Memory Stick Pro, and Memory Stick Pro Duo (with MS Pro adapter). The built-in

memory card reader is not only convenient, but also faster than most other forms of memory card readers

because it utilizes the high-bandwidth PCI bus. More information is provided in section 4 of this manual.

IMPORTANT! Never remove cards while or immediately after reading, copying, for-

matting, or deleting data on the card or else data loss may occur.

Infrared Port

SIR Port (Standard Infrared)

The standard infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication

with infrared-equipped devices or computers. This allows easy wireless synchronization with PDAs or

mobile phones and even wireless printing. If your office supports IrDA networking, you can have

wireless connection to a network anywhere provided there is a direct line of sight to an IrDA node.
