IEEE 1394 PORT
The IEEE 1394 port (also known as “Firewire” or
“iLink”) allows you to connect devices that are
compliant with IEEE standard 1394. This port is effec-
tively a very fast communications port. Some digital
devices - such as digital cameras - use IEEE 1394 ports
for fast transfer of digital files and data.
In order to connect an IEEE 1394 device, follow these
steps:
1. Open the protective cover on the right side of the
system (Figure 4-16).
2. Align the connector with the port opening.
3. Push the connector into the port until it is seated.

UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS PORTS
There are two USB 2.0 ports on your system: one on the
left side and one on the right. The Universal Serial Bus
2.0 ports allow you to connect USB devices such as

480Mbps transfer rate is 40 times faster than that of USB
1.1). USB 2.0 ports are backward-compatible to work
with USB 1.1 devices.
