ExpressCard Slot
The ExpressCard Slot allows you to install an ExpressCard. See “Using ExpressCards” on page 54.
USB 2.0 / 3.0 Ports
The USB ports allow you to connect Universal Serial Bus devices. There are three USB 3.0 ports on the left side of the
system and one USB 2.0 port on the right. USB 3.0 transfers data at up to 5 Gbps and is backward-compatible with
USB 2.0 devices, which transfer data at up to 480 Mbps. See “Universal Serial Bus Ports” on page 61. Note that the
front USB 3.0 port on the left side has Anytime USB Charge capability, meaning that even when your system is shut
down, this port can still be used to provide power to external devices (for example, when charging a cell phone). For
more information, refer to “Universal Serial Bus Ports” on page 61.
HDMI Port
The HDMI port is used to connect compatible digital devices with your computer (such as a high-definition television
or AV receiver). See “HDMI Port” on page 64.
