Connecting to Peripherals
This chapter describes how you attach peripheral
devices to your notebook. You can attach a printer
or mouse; connect an external monitor and
keyboard, or any other peripheral device. You will
learn how to use these peripheral devices with the
step-by-step instructions depicted in this chapter.

5.1
Using the USB Port
USB or Universal Serial Port is a peripheral bus standard developed by
Compaq, DEC, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NEC and Northern Telecom. Personal
computers equipped with USB will allow computer peripherals to automatically
configure as soon as they are physically attached - without the need to reboot
or run setup. USB will also allow multiple devices to run simultaneously on a
computer, with peripherals such as floppy drive, mouse, digital cameras,
scanners, printers, CD-RW drives, modems, keyboards, games devices and
acting as additional plug-in sites, or hubs.
+ Depending on your operational requirements, you may need to disable other
ports in order to release system resource for the USB port.
5.2
Using an External Monitor Port
Your computer has a 15-pin Monitor port for supporting any external CRT or
LCD color monitor. You need a display signal cable (usually provided with the
monitor). One end of the cable must have a 15-pin connector for the system.
To connect an external monitor:
76
Connecting to Peripherals
1.
Turn off your computer and make sure the monitor power switch is
turned off.
+ The notebook computer must be powered off or suspended while the
monitor is being connected. Although you can connect the external Monitor
without power off the computer and the external monitor, however, it is
harmful to both devices and it shortens the life of these devices.
2.
Connect the connector cable of the monitor to the VGA port at the back
of your computer. Secure the cable connection with the screws provided.
3.
Connect the monitor power cable and plug it into a properly grounded
wall outlet.
4.
Turn on the power of the monitor.
5.
Turn on your computer. Both the LCD panel and the monitor screen will
show the display. Your computer is set at default to run at simultaneous
display mode.
6.
If you only want to show the display on the external monitor or projector
and shut off the LCD display, you can use the  +  hot-key to
switch display type between LCD and external monitor. Keep pressing the
hot-key until you get the display to external monitor only.
+ Refer to Chapter 3 regarding the possible External CRT resolutions and
how to change the display properties.

5.3
Using the IEEE 1394 Port
IEEE 1394 is a new I/O standard that is supported by Win98 (second edition)
or later Windows version. With supporting high-speed transmission and
delivering data at a guaranteed rate, you can record digital video clips and
download them directly via a super-speed IEEE 1394 port at the left of the
notebook. IEEE 1394 becomes an ideal for devices that need to transfer high
levels of data in real-time.
With built-in IEEE 1394 port, this computer enables the peripheral devices in
transmitting digital video data or data backup. To install the IEEE 1394 port
driver, please refer to Win98 (second edition) or later Windows version. The
Windows system will automatically recognize it in installing a suitable driver for
it. For other version of Windows, please visit Microsoft's web site for more
information about it.
Moreover, you should install the driver of peripheral device to connect with the
IEEE 1394 port, for details please refer to the manual that comes with your
peripheral device.
78
Connecting to Peripherals
+ Please make sure that the external IEEE 1394 HDD box you purchase on
local electronic store should provide external power adapter. There are
different types of IEEE1394 HDD box and hard disk from different
manufactures, the power consumption has varied range. If the power of the
external IEEE 1394 HDD is supplied from the USB of this notebook, it may
not run properly.
5.4
Using the External Audio System
At the left side of your computer, you will find the built-in audio ports. You
can connect Microphone jacks, earphone or powered speaker.
To connect to a audio jack:
1.
Locate the audio port (Microphone, Headphone) that you want to use to
the target device.
2.
Plug the jack into the port on the left side of the system.
+ If you use external speakers and experience the sound distortion or
feedback, please lower the volume. Some factors is caused by too close
locating the microphone and speakers from each other, moving away the
external audio option from the unit may also help.
5.5
Using the LAN Port
This notebook comes with an internal 10Base-T/100Base-TX LAN module
that connects your computer to other computers/networks through a local area
network (LAN) and supports data transfer rates at 10Mbps and can be up to
100Mbps. The 10Base-T standard also called Twisted Pair Ethernet is
connected with RJ-45 connectors. The 100Base-TX is based on the older
79
N
otebook User Guide
Ethernet standard. Because it is 10 times faster than Ethernet, it is often
referred to as Fast Ethernet.
The built-in LAN module provides a standard RJ-45 connector.
To connect the twisted-pair cable to your LAN port:
5.6
1.
Locate the twisted-pair cable in the accessories box in notebook shipping
carton. Each end of the cable has a RJ-45 connector.
2.
Connect one end of the cable into the network wall outlet or HUB.
3.
Connect the other end of the cable into the computer RJ-45 LAN port.
Using the Wireless LAN
Wireless LAN is the major breakthrough in computer communication
technology. It lets user connect to the LAN environment without using any
wire to traditional RJ-45 jack. User can enjoy the wireless connection within the
range of Access Point (AP) of LAN.
Access Point (AP) is the wireless transmission and receiving device, it generally
connects to the server of a LAN environment or act as a LAN hub with
wireless connection. Access point can be set in an office environment, airport,
major railway station, etc. that depends on the construction of each country. In
most case, you probably can use it at office, please consult with the network
department of your company for more details.
