Modem Port
The RJ-11 telephone port supports an RJ-11 telephone cable. The internal modem supports up to 56K
V.90 transfers. The built-in connector allows convenient use without a dongle.
IMPORTANT! The built-in modem does not support the voltage used in digital phone
systems. Do not connect the modem port to a digital phone system or else damage
will occur to the Notebook PC.
Parallel Port
The 25-pin D-sub parallel/printer port supports parallel devices such as printers, hard drives, removable
drives, or scanners.
LAN Port (1000/100/10)
The RJ-45 LAN port supports an RJ-45 Ethernet cable. The internal LAN supports 1000/100/10Base-
TX standards. The built-in RJ45 port allows convenient use without a dongle.
USB 2.0 Port
The Universal Serial Bus is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as keyboards, pointing
devices, video cameras, modems, hard disk drives, printers, monitors, 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
simultaneously on a single computer, with peripherals such as USB keyboards and some newer moni-
tors acting as additional plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that peripher-
als can be connected or disconnected without restarting the computer.
