2 Knowing the Parts
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.

LAN Port
The RJ-45 LAN port with eight pins is larger than the RJ-11 modem port and
supports a standard Ethernet cable for connection to a local network. The built-in
connector allows convenient use without additional adapters.

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.)
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.
Display (Monitor) Output
The 15-pin D-sub output is an analog port that supports a standard VGA-compatible device
such as a monitor or projector to allow viewing on a larger external display.
