External Monitor
The notebook has a port for connecting an external VGA or higher resolution monitor.
The port is a standard 15-pin analog connector. Your Digital notebook supports three
display modes: LCD only, CRT only and Simul scan (simultaneous view of CRT and
LCD).
Parallel Device
This parallel port uses a 25-pin connector, allowing you to attach any parallel equipment
compatible with this connector standard. This port is most commonly used for connecting
a printer. Most printers have a parallel interface. These include dot matrix, ink-jet and
laser printers. The parallel port supports Bi-directional, Normal, EPP and ECP modes.
Serial Device
This is a standard 9-pin serial port. Any device that uses this standard can be connected
to the notebook. For example, most pointing devices such as a mouse or graphic tablet
can be directly connected to this port. If you have any doubt about the cables required for
equipment you plan to purchase, consult your authorized Digital notebook dealer.
Fast Infrared Port
The Fast Infrared (FIR) port allows wireless high-speed transfer of data (data input and
output) between your Digital notebook and another Infrared equipped computer device,
such as a printer or another notebook.
External Keyboard or PS/2 Mouse
This port allows you to attach a full size enhanced keyboard to the notebook. You can use
any standard desktop computer 101/102-key enhanced keyboard.
This port also allows you to attach any standard PS/2 compatible mouse. When using the
PS/2 mouse, you’ll need to make the connection before powering on the notebook. This
will prevent recognition failure. Connecting a PS/2 mouse will disable the on-board touch
pad.
External Mic and Speaker Out
Two audio jacks, an External Mic and a Speaker Out, are located above the AC Adapter
port on the left side panel of the notebook. The external microphone jack is used for
connecting an external audio-in device, such as a microphone. Connect external stereo
speakers or headphones to the Speaker Out port.
