Microphone Input Jack
The mono microphone jack (1/8 inch) can be used to connect an external microphone or output
signals from audio devices. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in microphone.
Use this feature for video conferencing, voice narrations, or simple audio recordings.
2.0
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 simultaneously 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.
IEEE1394 Port
IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has simple connections and hot-
plugging capabilities like USB. The interface IEEE1394 has a bandwidth of 100-400
Mbits/sec and can handle up to 63 units on the same bus. IEEE1394 is also used in
high-end digital equipment and should be marked “DV” for Digital Video port.
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.)
Headphone Output Jack
The stereo headphone jack (1/8 inch) is used to connect the Notebook PC’s audio
out signal to amplified speakers or headphones. Using this jack automatically
disables the built-in speakers.
