USB 3.0 Ports
The four USB ports (three USB 3.0 on the left side, and one eSATA/USB 2.0 Combo port on the right) allow you to
connect Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices.
See “Universal Serial Bus (USB) Ports” on page 46.
Note that the USB port
on the left side that is closest to the front of the system has Anytime Charge capability, meaning you can charge an
external device from this port, even when the system is powered down.
External Video Port
The external video port (located behind the protective cover) allows you to connect an external monitor or LCD
projector.
See “External Video Port” on page 47.
Air Flow Vents
The air flow vents assist in proper cooling of the system.
TO PROTECT YOUR NOTEBOOK FROM DAMAGE AND TO OPTIMIZE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, BE SURE TO KEEP ALL AIR VENTS UNOBSTRUCTED, CLEAN,
AND CLEAR OF DEBRIS. THIS MAY REQUIRE PERIODIC CLEANING, DEPENDING UPON THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THE SYSTEM IS USED.
D
O NOT OPERATE THE NOTEBOOK IN AREAS WHERE THE AIR VENTS CAN BE OBSTRUCTED, SUCH AS IN TIGHT ENCLOSURES OR ON SOFT SURFACES LIKE
A BED OR CUSHION.
