Expansion Port (Optional) 
Use this port to connect the PortBar. The PortBar is an accessory that duplicates the ports 
found on the back of the notebook. Keep the PortBar in your office connected to peripherals 
while you take the notebook on the road.  
 
Printer Port (LPT1) 
The printer port lets you connect a 25-pin parallel device such as printer, pocket LAN adapter, 
ZIP drive, or remote data transfer cable. Many operating systems and software applications 
refer to this port as LPT1. You can run the BIOS setup program to change the configuration 
of the parallel port to Bi-directional or ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) mode.  
 

 

Some older parallel devices may not function with the ECP default setting. You 
need to run the BIOS Setup program to adjust the settings. 

 
VGA Port (CRT) 
The VGA port lets you connect an external VGA (CRT) monitor to the notebook. You can 
also run the LCD and the external CRT monitor display simultaneously; or switch it to CRT 
only using the function hot-key (Fn+F3). When switch to CRT only, you can set the display 
resolution up to 1024x768 at 16M colors (24-bit true color).  
 
TV Port  (Optional) 
The TV port allows you to connect the notebook to the S-Video connector of your TV and 
output display for presentation or video playback. This port is not available on all models.
