including ECP-compatible devices.

USB 2.0 is a peripheral expansion standard that supports a data- transfer
rate of up to 480 Mbps. USB peripherals have a single standard for cables
and connectors. The USB standard allows you to install and remove USB
devices while the computer is on. Switching devices without turning off
the computer is called “Hot swapping.”
The
External Monitor Port
is a standard 15-pin VGA port for connecting
an analog display such as a desktop computer monitor.
The
DC-IN

The
Fan Vents

heat more easily.
To prevent possible overheating of the CPU, never block the fan vents.
