1 Security-lock slot
Purchase a security cable lock that fits this security-lock slot to lock your computer to a stationary object to
protect your computer from theft.
2 Fan louvers (left)
The fan louvers and the internal fan enable air to circulate in the computer to ensure proper cooling,
especially the cooling of the microprocessor.
Note: To ensure proper airflow, do not place any obstacle in front of the fan louvers.
3 VGA connector
Use the video graphics array (VGA) connector to connect the computer to a VGA-compatible video device,
such as a VGA monitor.
Note: If you connect the computer to a supported ThinkPad OneLink Dock, use the VGA connector on
the dock, not the one on the computer.
4 USB 3.0 connectors
The USB 3.0 connectors are used for connecting USB-compatible devices, such as a USB printer or
a digital camera.
Note: When you attach a USB cable to this USB connector, ensure that the USB mark is facing upward.
Otherwise the connector might be damaged.
5
HDMI connector
Use the high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) connector to connect the computer to a
HDMI-compatible audio device or video monitor, such as an high-definition television (HDTV).
Note: If you connect the computer to a supported ThinkPad OneLink Dock, use the HMDI connector on
the dock, not the one on the computer.
6 Combo audio connector
To listen to the sound from your computer, connect a headphone or a headset that has a 3.5 mm, 4-pole
plug to the combo audio connector.
Notes:
• If you are using a headset with a function switch, do not press this switch while using the headset. If
you press it, the headset microphone will be disabled, and the integrated microphones on the computer
will be enabled instead.
• The combo audio connector does not support a conventional microphone. For more information, see
“Using audio features” on page 43.
