SERIAL PORT

The serial port, or COM port, located on the system and

on the optional Port Replicator allows you to connect

serial devices, such as printers or scanners. In order to

connect a serial interface device follow these easy steps:

1. Align the connector with the port opening.

2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated

(Figure 4-15).

3. Tighten the two hold-down screws, located on each

side of the connector.

PORT REPLICATOR CONNECTOR

The port replicator connector is used for the connection

of your notebook to an optional port replicator. In order

to connect your notebook to this device, follow the

instructions that came with your port replicator. (See

Figure 2-8 on page 11 for location)

UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS PORTS

The Universal Serial Bus 2.0 ports (USB) allow you to

connect USB devices such as external game pads,

pointing devices, keyboards and/or speakers. There are

four USB 2.0 ports on your notebook: one on the right

side and three on the rear.

In order to connect a USB device follow these steps:

1. Align the connector with the port opening.(Figure 4-

16)

2. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.

INFRARED PORT

The Infrared IrDA (4Mbps) port allows for wireless data

transfer between your notebook and other IrDA-

compatible devices, such as another computer or a

printer, without the use of a cable. The infrared port is

located adjacent to the wireless LAN switch (See

Figure 2-4 on page 7 for location)

It is important to keep in mind that while carrying out

this form of communication, both devices must be

placed so their infrared ports are directly facing each

other without obstruction. The devices must also be

separated by at least 6" but no more than 36" for

maximum performance.

The following conditions may interfere with infrared

communications:

■

A television, radio remote control unit, or a wireless

headphone is being used nearby.

■

Direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or incandescent light

shines directly on the port.

IEEE 1394 PORT

The 4-pin 1394 port allows you to connect digital

devices that are compliant with IEEE 1394 standard. The

IEEE 1394 standard is easy to use, connect, and discon-

nect. This port can allow up to 400 Mbps transfer rate. A

third-party application may be required to operate your

digital device with the 1394 port

Due to the ongoing changes in USB tech-

nology and standards, not all USB devices

and/or drivers are guaranteed to work.

■

Do not move either device while com-

munication is active as it may interrupt

data transmission.

■

Be careful not to scratch the infrared

port lens. Dirt, scratches, or other sur-

face marks can degrade operation.

The 1394 port used in this system uses a

four-pin configuration. If you intend to

interface with devices which use a six-pin

configuration, you will need to purchase

an adapter.
