The following table identifies the CPU’s ports and the 
peripherals they support.

The USB, FireWire

®

 and iLINK

®

 ports are plug-and-

play and hot-plug capable which allows you to add 
or remove devices while the computer is running. 
The operating system automatically recognizes and 
configures the new device.

The CPU is designed for mobile wear using an 
attachable clip or optional pouch. For more 
information, see “Assembling the CPU” on page 33.

Power management features

The MA V includes an optimized system BIOS for taking 
advantage of its power-savings design. The system BIOS 
allows power sources to be hot-swapped while using the 
MA V, without the need to shut it down first. The BIOS also 
includes settings to slow the processor clock as a means of 
controlling the system’s thermal performance and reduced 
power consumption modes (standby and hibernation mode).
