2 Knowing the Parts

Flash Memory Reader

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.

Left Side

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

1394 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.

PC Card Slot

One PCMCIA 2.1 compliant PC Card socket is available to support one type I/II PC card. The socket

supports 32-bit CardBus. This allows accommodation of Notebook PC expansion options such as memory

cards, ISDN, SCSI, Smart Cards, and wireless network adapters.

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.
