IEEE1394 Connection
1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has
simple connections and hot-plugging capabilities
like USB. Up to 63 devices such as hard disk drives,
scanners, removable drives, and digital cameras/
video cameras with an 1394 port can all be con-
nected (more 1394 devices can be connected us-
ing a 1394 hub). 1394 is also used in high-end digi-
tal equipment and should be marked “DV” for
Digital Video port.
Printer Connection
This Notebook PC provides a parallel port that al-
lows you to connect inkjet/laser/dye printers and
other parallel devices. One or more USB printers
can be simultaneously used on any USB port.
For system and hard disk drive security, see BIOS
setup “Security”. A third party lock such as the ones
by Kensington
®
can be used to secure your Note-
book PC physically to an unmovable object. The
cable wraps around an object and the “T” shaped
end inserts into the Kensington
®
lock port as shown
in this illustration and a key or combination dial is
used to secure the lock in place. For more infor-
mation, you can read advertisements in Notebook
(sometimes referred to as “Mobile” or “Portable”)
PC magazines.
