The cooling vent prevents the computer's central processing
unit (CPU) from overheating so that it can continue to
perform at its maximum speed.
CAUTION: To prevent possible overheating of the CPU, make sure
you don't block the cooling vents.
The DC IN is where you plug in the AC adapter.
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports allow you to connect
USB peripherals to your computer.
DEFINITION: USB is a peripheral expansion standard that
supports a data-transfer rate of up to 12 Mbps for peripherals such
as keyboards, pointing devices, and monitors. USB peripherals
have a single standard for cabling and connectors. The USB
standard allows hot swapping of peripherals.
The parallel port lets you connect a parallel printer or other
parallel device, including ECP-compatible devices.
The modem port lets you use a standard RJ11 telephone
cable to connect the modem directly to a standard telephone
line. For more information, see
