Connecting external devices Connecting external devices Always refer to the safety information provided in "Important notes", Page 13 before connecting or disconnecting any devices to or from your notebook. Always read the documentation supplied with the device you wish to connect. Never connect or disconnect cables during a thunderstorm. Never pull at a cable when disconnecting it. Always grasp the plug.
Connecting external devices Connecting an external monitor An analogue monitor is connected to the analogue VGA monitor port, a digital monitor to the DisplayPort or to the DVI-D monitor port on the optional Port Replicator. Monitor output is limited to a maximum of two monitors at any one time (see "Key combinations", Page 25, section "Toggle output monitor").
Connecting external devices Connecting external devices to the serial port (optional) Devices Externaldevices Serialport External devices (e.g. a printer or modem) can be connected to the optional serial port. ► Connect the data cable to the external device. ► Connect the appropriate data cable for the device to the serial port. For an exact description of how to connect external devices to the corresponding port, please see the external device documentation.
Connecting external devices Connecting USB devices USBports On the USB ports, you can connect external devices that also have a USB port (e.g. a DVD drive, a printer, a scanner or a modem). USB devices are hot-pluggable. This means you can connect and disconnect devices while your operating system is running. USB 1.x has a maximum data transfer rate of 12 Mbit/s. USB 2.0 has a data transfer rate of up to 480 Mbit/s. USB 3.0 has a data transfer rate of up to 5 Gbit/s.
Connecting external devices USB port with charging function (Anytime USB charge) USBchargingfunction It is recommended that the notebook be operated with the power supply connected whenever the USB port with charging function is in use, as this function will drain the battery more quickly if an external USB device is being charged.
Connecting external devices Connecting an external SATA hard disk (eSATA) (port replicator only) The notebook itself does not have an eSATA port. The optional Port Replicator available for your notebook provides this port. An external SATA hard disk can be connected at the eSATA port. This allows you to expand the internal hard disk capacity as you wish. The length of the eSATA cable must not exceed 2 metres.
Connecting external devices Connecting external audio devices Microphone port/Line In Microphone,connecting Audioports Audiodevices,connecting The microphone port/Line In allows you to connect an external microphone, a MiniDisc player, MP3 player, CD player or a tape deck to your notebook. ► Connect the audio cable to the external device. ► Connect the audio cable to the microphone port/Line In of the notebook.
