Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 Ports
Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 ports allow you to connect
USB devices such as pointing devices, keyboards and
speakers. There are four USB ports (one USB 2.0 and one
eSATA/USB 2.0 Combo port on the left side, two USB 2.0
ports on the right). Note that the USB port on the right side
closest to the optical drive has Anytime USB Charge*
capability, meaning you can char g e an external device from
this port, even when the system is powered down.
USB 2.0 is downward-compatible with USB 1.1 devices,
so older USB devices will work with these ports. USB 2.0
is a much faster design, runni n g forty times faster than USB
1.1. To connect a USB device, simply align the connector
with the port opening and push the connector into the port
until it is seated.
* The Anytime USB Charge feature can be enabled and disabled from the BIOS Setup Utility (See "BIOS Setup Utility" on page 39) There
are three possible settings for this feature: "Disable Anytime USB Charge function", "Only enable Anytime USB Charge function with AC
Adapter", and "Enable Anytime USB Charge function with AC Adapter or battery". Note that if the setting is selected, the function will
eventually drain the battery if the AC Adapter is not plugged in.
Headphone Jack
The headphone jack allows you to connect headphones or powered external speakers, or SPDIF-
compatible devices to your LIFEBOOK notebook. Your headphones or speakers must be equipped with
a 1/8" (3.5 mm) stereo mini-plug. To connect headphones, speakers, or SPDIF devices, simply align the
connector with the port opening, then push the connector into the port until it is seated
