equipped with a 1/8”(3.5 mm) stereo mini-plug in order to fit into the microphone jack of your notebook. In order to
connect a microphone follow these easy steps:
1 Align the connector with the port opening.
2 Push the connector into the port until it is seated.
Universal Serial Bus Ports
Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports allow you to
connect USB devices such as pointing devices,
keyboards and speakers. There are four USB ports
(three USB 3.0 on the left side and one USB 2.0
Combo port on the right side on the right side). Note
that the USB 3.0 port on the left side closest to the
front of the system has Anytime USB Charge
capability, meaning you can charge an external
device from this port, even when the system is
powered down. For more information about Anytime
USB Charge, refer to “Anytime USB Charge Utility” on
