1.2.1 Power USB Port
When you press Power USB button under off mode, you can charge external
USB devices with power cable connected.
USB is a peripheral expansion standard that supports data-transfer rates up to
480 Mbps. USB peripherals have a single standard for cables and connectors. You
can install and remove USB devices while the computer is on. This is called “hot
swapping”.
1.2.2 RF in & S-video in
S-Video, as most commonly implemented, carries 480i or 576i resolution video, i.e.
standard definition video, but does not carry audio on the same cable.
1.2.3 Optical Disc Drive
The optical disc drive provides a means for you to import/export data into/from your
notebook. Depending on the configuration of your notebook, you may either be able to
record or play CDs/DVDs.
1.2.4 AC Adapter Connector
Use this connector to attach the AC adapter to your notebook. You can
connect an AC adapter when your notebook is switched on or off.
While the AC adapter works with electrical outlets worldwide, power connectors
and power strips vary by country. Ensure you use a compatible cable or correctly
connect the cable to the power strip or electrical outlet. Failure to do so may
cause fire or damage to equipment.
