External Devices
Connecting a Standard Device
The jacks and connectors described in this guide support the
standard external devices that specify them.
■ For information about which jack or connector to use, refer to
the documentation included with the device.
■ For information about installing or loading any software,
such as drivers required by the device, refer to the device
documentation, your operating system documentation, or
the device manufacturer’s Web site.
■ To connect both a pointing device and a keyboard to the
keyboard/pointing device (PS/2) connector, use a Y-adapter
available from most notebook or electronics retailers.
To connect a standard external device to the notebook:
1. If you are connecting a powered device, be sure that the
device is turned off.
2. Connect the device to the appropriate jack or connector on
the notebook.
3. If you are connecting a powered device, plug the device
power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
4. Turn on the device.
✎
If a properly connected external monitor does not display an
image, pressing the
Fn+F4 hotkeys may switch the image to the
monitor.
