Chapter 3 — Making Connections

Your computer is equipped with a full array of ports and connectors,
including standard input/output (I/O) ports for quickly and easily adding
peripheral devices such as printers, keyboards, and mice. Refer to
documentation included with individual devices for details on
connecting these devices to your computer. Along with the standard
ports found on most computers, your computer also includes IEEE
1394 ports, modem and LAN ports, offering advanced communications
technology.

The 15-pin VGA port can be used to connect your computer to an 
external monitor. (See the Graphics System in chapter 2 for more
information).

The IEEE 1394 port is able to transfer large amounts of data at high 
speed.  Because of this ability, the IEEE 1394 port is often used with
multimedia devices, such as video cameras. However, a variety of 
devices that support the IEEE 1394 standard can be connected to this
port.

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is the latest standard for attaching
monitors, input devices, scanners, and other devices to a PC. USB
devices can be chained together on a single cable.
