1394 Port
IEEE1394 is a high speed serial bus like SCSI but has simple connections and hot-plugging capabilities
like USB. The interface IEEE1394 has a bandwidth of 100-400 Mbits/sec and can handle up to 63 units
on the same bus. IEEE1394 is also used in high-end digital equipment and should be marked “DV” for
Digital Video port.
PC Card Slot
One PCMCIA 2.1 compliant PC Card socket is available to support one type I/II PC card. The socket
supports 32-bit CardBus. This allows accommodation of Notebook PC expansion options such as memory
cards, ISDN, SCSI, Smart Cards, and wireless network adapters.
Optical Drive
The Notebook PC comes in various models with different optical drives. The Notebook PC’s optical
drive may support compact discs (CD) and/or digital video discs (DVD) and may have recordable (R)
or re-writable (RW) capabilities. See the marketing specifications for details on each model.
Power Input Jack
The supplied power adapter converts AC power to DC power for use with this DC power input jack.
Power supplied through this jack supplies power to the Notebook PC and charges the internal battery
pack. To prevent damage to the Notebook PC and battery pack, always use the supplied power adapter.
Battery Pack
The battery pack is normally kept attached to the Notebook PC, but can be swapped with a fresh battery
pack if additional battery packs are purchased. When attached with AC power, it will automatically
charge. The Notebook PC can operate on AC power even if the battery pack is removed. The battery
pack cannot be further disassembled and must be replaced as a single unit.
