Mbps and is backward-compatible with USB 1.1 devices, which transfer data at up to 12 Mbps. See
“Universal Serial Bus Ports” on page 88.
HDMI Port
The HDMI port is used to connect compatible digital devices with your computer (such as a high-
definition television or AV receiver). See “HDMI Port” on page 87.
Air Vents
The air vents allow air to circulate through the system to cool down the components.
TO PROTECT YOUR NOTEBOOK FROM DAMAGE AND TO OPTIMIZE 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.
