Battery pack
You can increase the portability of the computer with additional battery
packs. If you’re away from an AC power source and your battery runs
low, you can replace it with a freshly charged battery. Refer to Chapter 6,
Power and PowerUp Modes.
Universal AC adaptor
If you frequently transport the computer between different sites such as
your home and office, purchasing an AC adaptor for each location will
reduce the weight and bulk of your carrying load.
USB diskette drive
The 3 ½" external diskette drive module can be connected to the USB
port. For details on connecting the 3 ½" external diskette drive module,
refer to Chapter 4, Operating Basics.
External monitor
An external analog monitor can be connected to the external monitor port
on the computer. The computer supports VGA and Super VGA video
modes. To connect a monitor, follow the steps below.
1. Turn the computer off.
2. Connect the monitor to the external monitor port.
3. Turn the monitor’s power on.
4. Turn the computer on.
When you turn on the power, the Windows Bootup screen (Windows
Logo) appears on the display device that is set as the power on Display
in HW Setup (Refer to Chapter 7, HW Setup and Passwords, for more
information).
However, the Windows Desktop appears on a display device that you
used last time to shut down your PC, if the display device exists when
you turn on the power.
To change the display settings, press Fn + F5. If you disconnect the
monitor before you turn the computer off, be sure to press Fn + F5 to
switch to the internal display. Refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard, for
details on using hot keys to change the display setting.
