USB Port (2.0/1.1)
2.0
The Universal Serial Bus is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices such as keyboards, pointing
devices, video cameras, modems, hard disk drives, printers, monitors, and scanners connected in a
series up to 12Mbits/sec (USB 1.1) and 480Mbits/sec (USB 2.0). USB allows many devices to run
simultaneously on a single computer, with peripherals such as USB keyboards and some newer moni-
tors acting as additional plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that peripher-
als can be connected or disconnected without restarting the computer.
LAN Port (1000/100/10)
The RJ-45 LAN port supports an RJ-45 Ethernet cable. The internal LAN supports 1000BASE-T/
100BASE-TX/10BASE-T standards. The built-in RJ45 port allows convenient use without a dongle.
Modem Port
The RJ-11 telephone port supports an RJ-11 telephone cable. The internal modem supports up to 56K
V.90 transfers. The built-in connector allows convenient use without a dongle.
IMPORTANT! The built-in modem does not support the voltage used in digital phone
systems. Do not connect the modem port to a digital phone system or else damage
will occur to the Notebook PC.

parallel-adapted device such as external hard drives, removable drives, or scanners.
Display (Monitor) Output
