3 Getting Started
With the AC power cord connected to the AC-DC converter, connect the AC power cord to an AC outlet
(preferably with surge-protection) and then connect the DC plug to the Notebook PC. Connecting the
AC-DC adapter to the AC outlet rst allows you to test the AC outlet’s power and the AC-DC converter
itself for compatibility problems before connecting the DC power to the Notebook PC. The green power
LED on the adapter lights up if the power is within accepted ranges.
IMPORTANT! Damage may occur if you use a different adapter to power the Notebook
PC or use the Notebook PC’s adapter to power other electrical devices. If there is
smoke, burning scent, or extreme heat coming from the AC-DC adapter, seek servic-
ing. Seek servicing if you suspect a faulty AC-DC adapter. You may damage both your
battery pack(s) and the Notebook PC with a faulty AC-DC adapter.
TIP: You can buy travel kits for the Notebook PC that includes power and modem
adapters for almost every country.
NOTE: This Notebook PC may come with either a two or three-prong plug depending
on territory. If a three-prong plug is provided, you must use a grounded AC outlet or
use a properly grounded adapter to ensure safe operation of the Notebook PC.
WARNING! THE POWER ADAPTER MAY BECOME WARM TO HOT WHEN IN USE. BE
SURE NOT TO COVER THE ADAPTER AND KEEP IT AWAY FROM YOUR BODY.
Power System
Using AC Power
The Notebook PC power is comprised of two parts,
the power adapter and the battery power system.
The power adapter converts AC power from a wall
outlet to the DC power required by the Notebook
PC. Your Notebook PC comes with a universal
AC-DC adapter. That means that you may connect
the power cord to any 100V-120V as well as 220V-
240V outlets without setting switches or using
power converters. Different countries may require
that an adapter be used to connect the provided
US-standard AC power cord to a different standard.
Most hotels will provide universal outlets to sup-
port different power cords as well as voltages. It is always best to ask an experienced traveler about AC
outlet voltages when bringing power adapters to another country.
24
3 Getting Started
The Power-On Self Test (POST)
When you turn ON the Notebook PC, it will rst run through a series of software-controlled diagnos-
tic tests called the Power-On Self Test (POST). The software that controls the POST is installed as a
permanent part of the Notebook PC’s architecture. The POST includes a record of the Notebook PC’s
hardware conguration, which is used to make a diagnostic check of the system. This record is created
by using the BIOS Setup program. If the POST discovers a difference between the record and the exist-
ing hardware, it will display a message on the screen prompting you to correct the conict by running
BIOS Setup. In most cases the record should be correct when you receive the Notebook PC. When the
test is nished, you may get a message reporting “No operating system found” if the hard disk was not
preloaded with an operating system. This indicates that the hard disk is correctly detected and ready for
the installation of a new operating system.
The S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) checks the hard disk drive during POST and
gives a warning message if the hard disk drive requires servicing. If any critical hard disk drive warning
is given during bootup, backup your data immediately and run Windows disk checking program. To run
Window’s disk checking program: (1) right-click any hard disk drive icon in “My Computer”, (2) choose
Properties, (3) click the Tools tab, (4) click Check Now, (5) select a hard disk drive, (6) select Thorough to
also check for physical damages, and (7) click Start. Third party disk utilities such as Symantec’s Norton
Disk Doctor can also perform the same functions but with greater ease and more features.
IMPORTANT! If warnings are still given during bootup after running a software disk
checking utility, you should take your Notebook PC in for servicing. Continued use
may result in data loss.
Powering ON the Notebook PC
The Notebook PC’s power-ON message appears on the screen when you turn it ON. If necessary, you
may adjust the brightness by using the hot keys. If you need to run the BIOS Setup to set or modify the
system conguration, press [F2] upon bootup to enter the BIOS Setup. If you press [Tab] during the
splash screen, standard boot information such as the BIOS version can be seen. Press [ESC] and you will
be presented with a boot menu with selections to boot from your available drives.
IMPORTANT! To protect the hard disk drive, always wait at least 5 seconds after turn-
ing OFF your Notebook PC before turning it back ON.
NOTE: Before bootup, the display panel ashes when the power is turned ON. This is
part of the Notebook PC’s test routine and is not a problem with the display.
WARNING! DO NOT carry or cover a Notebook PC that is powered ON with any materi-
als that will reduce air circulation such as a carrying bag.
25
Getting Started 3
Checking Battery Power
The battery system implements the Smart Battery standard under
the Windows environment, which allows the battery to accurately
report the amount of charge left in the battery. A fully-charged battery
pack provides the Notebook PC a few hours of working power. But
the actual gure varies depending on how you use the power saving
features, your general work habits, the CPU, system memory size,
and the size of the display panel.
To check the remaining battery power, move your cursor over the
power icon. The power icon is a “battery” when not using AC power
and a “plug” when using AC power. Double click on the icon for
more information and settings.
NOTE: You will be warned when battery power is low. If you
continue to ignore the low battery warnings, the Notebook PC
eventually enters suspend mode (Windows default uses STR).
WARNING! Suspend-to-RAM (STR) does not last long when the battery power is depleted.
Suspend-to-Disk (STD) is not the same as power OFF. STD requires a small amount of
power and will fail if no power is available due to complete battery depletion or no power
supply (e.g. removing both the power adapter and battery pack).
Right-click the battery icon for
sub-menus. Left-click the battery icon for power
management settings.
Note: Screen captures shown here
are examples only and may not re-
ect what you see in your system.
Move your mouse over the battery icon
for remaining power information.
When the AC power is connected,
charging status will be shown.
Charging the Battery Pack
Before you use your Notebook PC on the road, you will have to charge the battery pack. The battery pack
begins to charge as soon as the Notebook PC is connected to external power using the power adapter.
Fully charge the battery pack before using it for the rst time. A new battery pack must completely charge
before the Notebook PC is disconnected from external power. It takes a few hours to fully charge the
battery when the Notebook PC is turned OFF and may take twice the time when the Notebook PC is
turned ON. The battery charge light turns OFF when the battery pack is charged.
WARNING! Do not leave the battery pack discharged. The battery pack will discharge
over time. If not using a battery pack, it must continued to be charged every three
months to extend recovery capacity or else it may fail to charge in the future.
NOTE: The battery stops charging if the temperature is too high or the battery voltage
is too high. BIOS provides a smart battery refreshing function. If the battery calibration
process fails, stop charging and contact an authorized service center.
26
3 Getting Started
Restarting or Rebooting
After making changes to your operating system,
you may be prompted to restart the system. Some
installation processes will provide a dialog box to
allow restart. To restart the system manually, click
Windows Start button and select Shut Down and
then choose Restart.
Powering OFF
In Windows XP, power OFF the Notebook PC by
clicking Windows Start button and select Shut Down
and then choose Turn off (or Shut down). For oper-
ating systems without proper power management
(DOS, Windows NT), you must close all applications
and exit operating systems and then power OFF by holding the power switch for 2 seconds (as opposed
to 1 second to power ON). Holding the power switch for 2 seconds is necessary in order to prevent ac-
cidental power-OFFs.
IMPORTANT! To protect the hard drive, wait at least 5 seconds after turning OFF your
Notebook PC before turning it back ON.
(Screens are different depending on security settings.)
Emergency Shutdown
In case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart, there are two additional ways to
shutdown your Notebook PC:
(1) Hold the power button over 4 seconds, or (2) Press the shutdown button .
IMPORTANT! Do not use emergency shutdown while data is being written; doing so
can result in loss or destruction of your data.
TIP: Use a straightened paper clip to
press the shutdown button.

Operating System
This Notebook PC may offer (depending on territory) its customers the choice of a pre-installed operat-
ing system such as . The choices and languages will depend on the territory. Microsoft Windows XP
The levels of hardware and software support may vary depending on the installed operating system. The
stability and compatibility of other operating systems cannot be guaranteed.
Support Software
This Notebook PC comes with a support CD that provides BIOS,
drivers and applications to enable hardware features, extend func-
tionality, help manage your Notebook PC, or add functionality not
provided by the native operating system. If updates or replacement
of the support CD is necessary, contact your dealer for web sites to
download individual software drivers and utilities.
The support CD contains all drivers, utilities and software for all popular operating systems including
those that have been pre-installed. The support CD does not include the operating system itself. The
support CD is necessary even if your Notebook PC came pre-congured in order to provide additional
software not included as part of the factory pre-install.
A recovery CD is optional and includes an image of the original operating system installed on the hard
drive at the factory. The recovery CD provides a comprehensive recovery solution that quickly restores
the Notebook PC’s operating system to its original working state provided that your hard disk drive is
in good working order. Contact your retailer if you require such a solution.
Note: Some of the Notebook PC’s components and features may not work until the
device drivers and utilities are installed.

Using the Notebook PC 4
IMPORTANT! Do not use any objects in
place of your nger to operate the touch-
pad or else damage may occur to the
touchpad’s surface.
Pointing Device
The Notebook PC’s integrated touchpad pointing
device is fully compatible with all two/three-but-
ton and scrolling knob PS/2 mice. The touchpad is
pressure sensitive and contains no moving parts;
therefore, mechanical failures can be avoided. A
device driver is still required for working with some
application software.
Using the Touchpad
Light pressure with the tip of your nger is all that
is required to operate the touchpad. Because the
touchpad is electrostatic sensitive, objects cannot
be used in place of your ngers. The touchpad’s
primary function is to move the cursor around or
select items displayed on the screen with the use of
your ngertip instead of a standard desktop mouse.
The following illustrations demonstrate proper use
of the touchpad.

Double-clicking/Double-tapping - This is a common skill for launching a program directly from the
corresponding icon you select. Move the cursor over the icon you wish to execute, press the left button or
tap the pad twice in rapid succession, and the system launches the corresponding program. If the interval
between the clicks or taps is too long, the operation will not be executed. You can set the double-click speed
using the Windows Control Panel “Mouse.” The following 2 examples produce the same results.
(press the left button twice and release) (lightly but rapidly strike the touchpad twice)
(press the left cursor button and release) (lightly but rapidly strike the touchpad)
Clicking/Tapping - With the cursor over an item, press the left button or use your ngertip to touch the
touchpad lightly, keeping your nger on the touchpad until the item is selected. The selected item will
change color. The following 2 examples produce the same results.

Caring for the Touchpad
The touchpad is pressure sensitive. If not properly cared for, it can be easily damaged. Take note of the
following precautions.
• Make sure the touchpad does not come into contact with dirt, liquids or grease.
• Do not touch the touchpad if your ngers are dirty or wet.
• Do not rest heavy objects on the touchpad or the touchpad buttons.
• Do not scratch the touchpad with your nger nails or any hard objects.
Dragging - Dragging means to pick up an item and place it anywhere on the screen you wish. You can
move the cursor over the item you select, and while keeping the left button depressed, moving the cursor
to the desired location, then release the button. Or, you can simply double-tap on the item and hold while
dragging the item with your ngertip. The following illustrations produce the same results.
(hold left button and slide nger on touchpad) (lightly strike the touchpad twice, sliding nger on touchpad
during second strike)
Dragging-Clicking Dragging-Tapping
NOTE: A software-controlled scrolling function is available after setting up the included
touchpad utility to allow easy Windows or web navigation. Basic functions can be ad-
justed at the Windows control panel to allow comfortable clicking and tapping.
NOTE: The touchpad responds to movement not to force. There is no need to tap
the surface too hard. Tapping too hard does not increase the responsiveness of the
touchpad. The touchpad responds best to light pressure.

Storage Devices
Storage devices allow the Notebook PC to read or write documents, pictures, and other les to various
data storage devices. This Notebook PC has the following storage devices:
• ExpressCard
• Optical drive
• Flash memory reader
• Hard disk drive
ExpressCard
One 26pin Express card slot is available to support one ExpressCard/34mm or one
ExpressCard/54mm expansion card. This new interface is faster by using a serial bus
supporting USB 2.0 and PCI Express instead of the slower parallel bus used in the PC
card slot. (Not compatible with previous PCMCIA cards.)
Inserting an ExpressCard
Be sure the ExpressCard
is level when inserting.
1. If there is an ExpressCard socket protector, re-
move it using the “Removing an ExpressCard”
instructions below.
2. Insert the ExpressCard with the connector side rst
and label side up. Standard ExpressCards will be
ush with the Notebook PC when fully inserted.
3. Carefully connect any cables or adapters
needed by the ExpressCard. Usually connectors
can only be inserted in one orientation. Look
for a sticker, icon, or marking on one side of
the connector representing the top side.
Removing an ExpressCard
The ExpressCard slot does not have an eject but-
ton. Press the ExpressCard inwards and release to
eject the ExpressCard. Carefully pull the ejected
ExpressCard out of the socket.

Inserting an optical disc
1. While the Notebook PC’s power is ON, press
the drive’s eject button and the tray will eject
out partially.
2. Gently pull on the drive’s front panel and slide
the tray completely out. Be careful not to touch
the CD drive lens and other mechanisms. Make
sure there are no obstructions that may get
jammed under the drive’s tray.
3. Hold the disc by the edge and face the disc’s
printed side up. Push down on both sides of
the disc’s center until the disc snaps onto the
hub. The hub should be higher than the
disc when correctly mounted.
4. Slowly push the drive’s tray back in. The drive
will begin reading the table of contents (TOC)
on the disc. When the drive stops, the disc is
ready to be used.
NOTE: It is normal to hear as well as feel the CD spinning with great intensity in the
CD drive while data is read.
42
4 Using the Notebook PC
A CD drive letter should be present regardless of the presence of a CD disc in the drive. After the CD is
properly inserted, data can be accessed just like with hard disk drives; except that nothing can be written
to or changed on the CD. Using the proper software, a CD-RW drive or DVD+CD-RW drive can allow
CD-RW discs to be used like a hard drive with writing, deleting, and editing capabilities.
Vibration is normal for all high-speed optical drives due to unbalanced CDs or CD print. To decrease
vibration, use the Notebook PC on an even surface and do not place labels on the CD.
Listening to Audio CD
The optical drives can play audio CDs, but only the DVD-ROM drive can play DVD audio. Insert the
audio CD and Windows™ automatically opens an audio player and begins playing. Depending on the
DVD audio disc and installed software, it may require that you open a DVD player to listen to DVD
audio. You can adjust the volume using hotkeys or Windows™ speaker icon on the taskbar.
Using the Optical Drive
Optical discs and equipment must be handled with care because of the precise mechanics involved.
Keep in mind the important safety instructions from your CD suppliers. Unlike desktop optical drives,
the Notebook PC uses a hub to hold the CD in place regardless of the angle. When inserting a CD, it is
important that the CD be pressed onto the center hub or else the optical drive tray will scratch the CD.
WARNING! If the CD disc is not properly locked onto the center hub, the CD can be
damaged when the tray is closed. Always watch the CD closely while closing the tray
slowly to prevent damage.
Eject the tray and gently pry the edge of the disc
upwards at an angle to remove the disc from
the hub.
The emergency eject is located in a hole on the op-
tical drive and is used to eject the optical drive tray
in case the electronic eject does not work. Do not
use the emergency eject in place of the electronic
eject. Note: Make sure not to stab the activity
indicator located in the same area.
Actual location will
vary by model.

(SD), Multi-Media Card (MMC), Memory Stick (MS), Memory Stick Select (MS Select), Memory
Stick Duo (with MS adapter), Memory Stick Pro, and Memory Stick Pro Duo (with MS Pro adapter).
Memory Sticks may be standard or with MagicGate technology. The built-in memory card reader is not
only convenient, but also faster than most other forms of memory card readers because it utilizes the
high-bandwidth PCI bus.
Hard Disk Drive
Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds
than oppy disk drives and optical drives. The Notebook PC comes with
a replaceable 2.5” (6.35cm) wide and approximately .374” (.95cm) high
hard disk drive. Current hard drives support S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring
and Reporting Technology) to detect hard disk errors or failures before
they happen. When replacing or upgrading the hard drive, always visit
an authorized service center or retailer for this Notebook PC.
IMPORTANT! Poor handling of the Notebook PC may damage the hard disk drive.
Handle the Notebook PC gently and keep it away from static electricity and strong
vibrations or impact. The hard disk drive is the most delicate component and will
likely be the rst or only component that is damaged if the Notebook PC is dropped.

Network Connection
Connect a network cable, with RJ-45 connectors on each end, to the modem/network port on the Note-
book PC and the other end to a hub or switch. For 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T speeds, your network
cable must be category 5 or better (not category 3) with twisted-pair wiring. If you plan on running the
interface at 100/1000Mbps, it must be connected to a 100 BASE-TX / 1000 BASE-T hub (not a BASE-T4
hub). For 10Base-T, use category 3, 4, or 5 twisted-pair wiring. 10/100 Mbps Full-Duplex is supported
on this Notebook PC but requires connection to a network switching hub with “duplex” enabled. The
software default is to use the fastest setting so no user-intervention is required.
1000BASE-T (or Gigabit) is only supported on selected models.
Twisted-Pair Cable
The cable used to connect the Ethernet card to a host (generally a
Hub or Switch) is called a straight-through Twisted Pair Ethernet
(TPE). The end connectors are called RJ-45 connectors, which are
not compatible with RJ-11 telephone connectors. If connecting two
computers together without a hub in between, a crossover LAN
cable is required (Fast-Ethernet model). (Gigabit models support
auto-crossover so a crossover LAN cable is optional.)

Trusted Platform Module (TPM) (on selected models)
The TPM, or Trusted Platform Module, is a security hardware device on the system board that will hold
computer-generated keys for encryption. It is a hardware-based solution that an help avoid attacks by
hackers looking to capture passwords and encryption keys to sensitive data. The TPM provides the abil-
ity to the PC or notebook to run applications more secure and to make transactions and communication
more trustworthy.
The security features provided by the TPM are internally supported by the following cryptographic capa-
bilities of each TPM: hashing, random number generation, asymmetric key generation, and asymmetric
encryption/decryption. Each individual TPM on each individual computer system has a unique signature
initialized during the silicon manufacturing process that further enhances its trust/security effectiveness.
Each individual TPM must have an Owner before it is useful as a security device.
TPM Applications
TPM is useful for any customer that is interested in providing an addition layer of security to the com-
puter system. The TPM, when bundled with an optional security software package, can provide overall
system security, le protection capabilities and protect against email/privacy concerns. TPM helps
provide security that can be stronger than that contained in the system BIOS, operating system, or any
non-TPM application.
Note: The TPM is disabled by default. Use BIOS setup to enable it.
Important: Use your TPM application’s “Restore” or “Migration” function to backup
your TPM security data.
TPM
You can launch the Security Platform
application from Windows “Control Panel”.
You can launch the Security Platform
application from Windows “Start” menu.
When the Security Platform is running, this
icon will show in the Windows taskbar. You
can choose to initialize or manage here.
When you launch the Security Platform
application for the rst time, answer Yes and
follow the instructions to congure it.

Using the Notebook PC 4
Power Management Modes
The Notebook PC has a number of automatic or adjustable power saving features that you can use to
maximize battery life and lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). You can control some of these features
through the Power menu in the BIOS Setup. ACPI power management settings are made through the
operating system. The power management features are designed to save as much electricity as possible
by putting components into a low power consumption mode as often as possible but also allow full
operation on demand. These low power modes are referred to as “Stand by” (or Suspend-to-RAM) and
“Hibernation” mode or Suspend-to-Disk (STD). The Standby mode is a simple function provided by the
operating system. When the Notebook PC is in either one of the power saving modes, the status will be
shown by the following: “Stand by”: Power LED Blinks and “Hibernation”: Power LED OFF.
Full Power Mode & Maximum Performance
The Notebook PC operates in Full Power mode when the power management function is disabled by
conguring Windows power management and SpeedStep. When the Notebook PC is operating in Full
Power Mode, the Power LED remains ON. If you are conscious of both system performance and power
consumption, select “Maximum Performance” instead of disabling all power management features.
ACPI
Advanced Conguration and Power Management (ACPI) was developed by Intel, Microsoft, and Toshiba
especially for Windows and later to control power management and Plug and Play features. ACPI is the
new standard in power management for Notebook PCs.
NOTE: APM was used in older operating systems like Windows NT4 and Windows 98.
Because newer operating systems like Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows ME
utilize ACPI, APM is no longer fully supported on this Notebook PC.
Suspend Mode
In “Stand by” (STR) and “Hibernation” (STD), the CPU clock is stopped and most of the Notebook PC
devices are put in their lowest active state. The suspend mode is the lowest power state of the Notebook
PC. The Notebook PC enters suspend mode when the system remains idle for a specied amount of time
or manually using the [Fn][F1] keys. The Power LED blinks when the Notebook PC is in STR mode.
In STD mode, the Notebook PC will appear to be powered OFF. Recover from STR by pressing any
keyboard button (except Fn). Recover from STD by using the power switch (just like powering
ON the Notebook PC).
Power Savings
In addition to reducing the CPU clock, this mode puts devices including the LCD backlight in their lower
active state. The Notebook PC enters “Stand by” mode (low priority) when the system remains idle for a
specied amount of time. The time-out can be set through Windows power management (higher priority).
To resume system operation, press any key.

Thermal Power Control
There are three power control methods for controlling the Notebook PC’s thermal state. These power
control cannot be congured by the user and should be known in case the Notebook PC should enter
these states. The following temperatures represent the chassis temperature (not CPU).
• The fan turns ON for active cooling when the temperature reaches the safe upper limit.
• The CPU decreases speed for passive cooling when the temperature exceeds the safe upper limit.
• The system shut down for critical cooling when temperature exceeds the maximum safe upper
limit.

Stand by and Hibernate
Power management settings can be found in the Windows control panel. The following shows the power
options properties in Windows. You can dene “Stand By” or “Shut down” for closing the display panel,
pressing the power button, or activating sleep mode. “Stand by” and “Hibernate” saves power when
your Notebook PC is not in use by turning OFF certain components. When you resume your work, your
last status (such as a document scrolled down half way or email typed half way) will reappear as if you
never left. “Shut down” will close all applications and ask if you want to save your work if any are not
saved.
“Stand by” is the same as Suspend-to-RAM (STR). This
function stores your current data and status in RAM while
many components are turned OFF. Because RAM is volatile,
it requires power to keep (refresh) the data. To operate: select
“Start” | “Shut down”, and “Stand by”.
“Hibernate” is the same as Suspend-to-Disk (STD) and
stores your current data and status on the hard disk drive. By
doing this, RAM does not have to be periodically refreshed
and power consumption is greatly reduced but not completely
eliminated because certain wake-up components like LAN
needs to remain powered. “Hibernate” saves more power
compared to “Stand by”. To operate: Enable hibernation
in “Power Options” and select “Start” | “Shut down”, and
“Hibernate”.

BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)
BIOS is a set of routines that affect how the computer transfers data between computer components, such
as memory, disks, and the display adapter. The BIOS instructions are built into the computer’s read-only
memory. BIOS parameters can be congured by the user through the BIOS Setup program. The BIOS
can be updated using the provided utility to copy a new BIOS le into the EEPROM.
Bit (Binary Digit)
Represents the smallest unit of data used by the computer. A bit can have one of two values: 0 or 1.
Boot
Boot means to start the computer operating system by loading it into system memory. When the manual
instructs you to “boot” your system (or computer), it means to turn ON your computer. “Reboot” means
to restart your computer. When using Windows 95 or later, selecting “Restart” from “Start | Shut Down...”
will reboot your computer.
Bluetooth (on selected models)
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology that lets you connect computers, mobile phones, and
handheld devices to each other and to the Internet. Bluetooth technology eliminates the ned for the cables
that connect devices together. Bluetooth-enabled devices connect wirelessly within a 10 m range.
Byte (Binary Term)
One byte is a group of eight contiguous bits. A byte is used to represent a single alphanumeric character,
punctuation mark, or other symbol.

Clock Throttling
Chipset function which allows the processor’s clock to be stopped and started at a known duty cycle.
Clock throttling is used for power savings, thermal management, and reducing processing speed.
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
The CPU, sometimes called “Processor,” actually functions as the “brain” of the computer. It interprets
and executes program commands and processes data stored in memory.
Device Driver
A device driver is a special set of instructions that allows the computer’s operating system to communicate
with devices such as VGA, audio, Ethernet, printer, or modem.
DVD
DVD is essentially a bigger, faster CD that can hold video as well as audio and computer data. With these
capacities and access rates, DVD discs can provide you with dramatically-enhanced high-color, full-mo-
tion videos, better graphics, sharper pictures, and digital audio for a theater-like experience. DVD aims
to encompass home entertainment, computers, and business information with a single digital format,
eventually replacing audio CD, videotape, laserdisc, CD-ROM, and video game cartridges.
ExpressCard
ExpressCard slot is 26 pins and support one ExpressCard/34mm or one ExpressCard/54mm expansion
card. This new interface is faster by using a serial bus supporting USB 2.0 and PCI Express instead of
the slower parallel bus used in the PC card slot. (Not compatible with previous PCMCIA cards.)
Hardware
Hardware is a general term referring to the physical components of a computer system, including pe-
ripherals such as printers, modems, and pointing devices.
IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics)
IDE devices integrate the drive control circuitry directly on the drive itself, eliminating the need for a
separate adapter card (in the case for SCSI devices). UltraDMA/66 or 100 IDE devices can achieve up
to 33MB/Sec transfer.
IEEE1394 (1394)
Also known as iLINK (Sony) or FireWire (Apple). 1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has
simple connections and hot-plugging capabilities like USB. The popular 1394a interface has a bandwidth
of 400Mbits/sec and can handle up to 63 units on the same bus. The newer 1394b interface can support
twice the speed and will appear in future models when peripherals support higher speeds. It is very likely
that 1394, together with USB, will replace Parallel, IDE, SCSI, and EIDE ports. 1394 is also used in
high-end digital equipment and should be marked “DV” for Digital Video port.
Infrared Port (IrDA) (on selected models)
The infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication with infra-
red-equipped devices or computers up to 4Mbits/sec. This allows easy wireless synchronization with
PDAs or mobile phones and even wireless printing to printers. Small ofces can use IrDA technology to
share a printer between several closely placed Notebook PCs and even send les to each other without
a network.
