Component Icon Description
A. AC Power connector Power Plug the AC adapter cable into this connector.

Connecting the AC adapter.

B. Docking port   Connect the optional port replicator to this port.

Warning: Power is passed through this port. This docking connection is certified to UL 1950 for use only with port replicators designed for your Gateway convertible notebook.

C. External monitor (VGA) port VGA port Plug an analog VGA monitor or projector into this port.
D. Ethernet jack Ethernet The network jack can be used to connect to a 10/100 wired Ethernet network. You can use the computer's Ethernet jack for more than just networking. Many broadband Internet connections, such as cable modems and DSL modems, connect to the Ethernet jack.

Connecting to a Wired Ethernet Network

  1. Insert one end of the network cable into the network jack on the back of the computer.

  2. Insert the other end of the network cable into a network jack.
E. USB ports USB The USB ports are version 2.0 ports. Plug USB devices (such as a floppy disk drive, flash drive, printer, scanner, camera, keyboard, or mouse) into these ports. USB ports support plug-and-play and hot swapping, which means that your computer usually recognizes such a device whenever you plug it into the appropriate port. When you use an USB device for the first time, your computer prompts you to install any software the device needs. After doing this, you can disconnect and reconnect the device at any time.
F. IEEE 1394 port 1394 A. This 4-pin IEEE 1394 port (also known as Firewire® or i.Link®) is used for connecting peripheral devices such as printers, scanners, and digital cameras to the computer. IEEE 1394 is Plug and Play, which means that you can usually use an IEEE 1394 device by just plugging it into the appropriate port. Windows® establishes communication between your computer and the device automatically.

To use the IEEE 1394 port, connect one end of the IEEE 1394 cable to your external source, such as a video camera, and then connect the other end of the cable to the IEEE 1394 port on the side of your convertible tablet notebook.

G. PC Card slot   This notebook has one PC Card slot, also known as a PCMCIA card slot. This slot accepts one Type II card.

You do not need to restart the computer when changing most cards, because this computer supports hot-swapping. Hot-swapping means that you can insert a PC Card while your computer is running. If your PC Card does not work after hot-swapping, see the PC Card manufacturer's documentation for further information.
