Using your computer at the office
By connecting an external monitor, external full-size 
keyboard, and a mouse, you can work with your notebook as 
if it were a standard office computer.
An external monitor or projector connects to the RGB 
(monitor) port.
Any USB device can connect to the USB ports.
Backing up your work
Back up all the files you create in case something happens to 
your computer. You can back up your files to different types 
of media such as CDs, DVDs, diskettes, or to a network, if 
available.
To back up several files at one time, use the Microsoft
®
 
Windows
®
 backup program preinstalled on the computer’s 
hard disk. For more information, see 
HINT: Backing up all the files on your hard disk may take a 
considerable amount of time and multiple CDs/DVDs. You 
may prefer to use a high-capacity backup system, such as an 
external hard drive.
Small files can be backed up on diskettes if an optional 
external diskette drive is available.
Restoring your work
To restore information from your backup media to your hard 
disk, use the Restore page in the backup program. Look in the
