network adapter for high bandwidth network connection.
Firewire (IEEE1394 / 1394a) and USB2.0 ports
In addition to a full array of built-in I/O por
offers IEEE1394 for ultra high-speed connection to high
bandwidth digital video devices and USB2.0 ports to
connect to any USB-based peripheral devices.

AC Adapter
1. DC-out Connector
The DC-out connector docks to the power jack (DC-in) on the
computer.
2. LED Lamp
The LED lamp appears green when the unit is plugged into a
valid AC source.
3. Adapter
The adapter converts alternating current into constant DC
voltage for the computer.
4. AC Plug
The AC plug plugs to the AC wall outlet.
Warning: Make sure that you are using a standard 3-prong AC plug with a
ground pin. If not, you may feel a slight tingling sensation when you touch the
computer’s metal parts such as the I/O ports. This is caused by a leakage
current when the AC adapter is not properly grounded via the ground pin.
However, the amount of leakage current is within the safety regulation and is
not harmful to the human body.

Audio Subsystem – How to Enable the DTS 7.1
Multi-channel Surround Sound System
The system only has a stereo mini-jack that provides line-out signal
to a two-speaker configuration. However, if you have an AC3/DTS
Home Theater Receiver with 7.1 Multi-channel speaker output, you
may use the following illustration to build a 7.1-channel
entertainment system.
1. Connecting to the DTS Receiver via S/PDIF Toslink
cable
Note: You may need to purchase a Toslink Cable to make
connection. Make sure that the Receiver also has the same
type of S/PDIF Toslink input jack.
