768 active-matrix color display.
A CD-ROM drive that can be used in the modular bay. When you unpack your
computer, look for the CD-ROM drive in the accessories box of the shipping carton.
256-bit hardware-accelerated video support, with 2.5 megabytes (MB) of video
memory.
Support for a zoomed video (ZV) PC Card in the upper PC Card connector.
Software wavetable support, Sound Blaster emulation
Three audio jacks for connecting external speakers or headphones, a microphone,
and a record/playback device to your computer.
Built-in microphone and two stereo speakers.
Accelerated graphics port (AGP) architecture that increases system performance,
particularly video performance.
A modular bay that supports a CD-ROM drive, diskette drive, second battery or hard-disk drive, or LS-
120 drive module. To make the computer as light as possible when you travel, use the special travel
module in the modular bay.
NOTE: Your computer was shipped with a diskette drive in the modular bay. For information on
removing the diskette drive and installing a different device in the bay, see
A 64-MB synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) module is standard. Memory can be
increased up to 256 MB by installing combinations of 32-, 64-, or 128-MB SDRAM modules in the two
memory module sockets on the system board.
Two power conservation modes—
suspend mode
and
suspend-to-disk mode
—that help you conserve
battery power. If the batteries run out of power, suspend-to-disk mode prevents data loss by copying
all system data to the hard-disk drive and turning off the computer.
Connectors for two 3.3-volt (V) or 5-V PC Cards. The upper PC Card connector supports ZV PC
Cards.
NOTE: The PC Card controller supports the CardBus standard for 32-bit data transfer on the PC
Card.
Hardware and software support for the Dell Latitude C/Port Advanced Port Replicator (C/Port APR) and
the Dell Latitude C/Dock Expansion Station.
A touch-pad pointing device positioned for both left- and right-handed users. The left and right touch-
pad buttons mimic mouse buttons; you can also perform many pointing functions by tapping the touch
pad itself. Click-and-drag buttonless functions are supported.
A lithium ion battery in the battery bay, with support for a second battery in the modular bay.
ExpressCharge technology charges a single battery in approximately 1 hour (when the computer is off
or in suspend mode).
NOTE: The batteries are designed to work only with Dell Latitude CP Series portable computers.
Do not use the batteries with other computers, and do not use batteries from other computers
with the Dell Latitude CP Series.
WARNING:
Do not puncture or incinerate the battery. When your battery no longer holds
a charge, call your local waste disposal agency or environmental agency for advice on
disposing the computer's lithium ion battery. The lithium ion technology used in the
battery is significantly less hazardous to the environment than the lithium metal
technology used in some other batteries (such as watch batteries)
.
High-performance parallel and serial ports and a multipurpose Personal System/2 (PS/2) connector for
attaching external devices. There is also a monitor connector for attaching an external monitor to your
computer and a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector that supports stand-alone and hub devices.
An infrared port that permits file transfer without using cable connections. The port is compatible with
