Back Panel Components
Following is a brief description of your LIFEBOOK notebook’s back panel components.
Serial Port
The serial port allows you to connect serial RS-232 devices, such as serial printers or serial scanners. See “Serial Port”
on page 79.
Gigabit LAN (RJ-45) Jack
The internal LAN (RJ-45) jack is used for an internal Gigabit (10Base-T/100Base-Tx/1000Base-T) Ethernet LAN
connection. See “Internal LAN (RJ-45) Jack” on page 78.
Air Vents
The air vents allow air to circulate through the system to cool down the components.
TO PROTECT YOUR NOTEBOOK FROM DAMAGE AND TO OPTIMIZE PERFORMANCE, BE SURE TO KEEP ALL AIR VENTS UNOBSTRUCTED, CLEAN, AND
CLEAR OF DEBRIS. THIS MAY REQUIRE PERIODIC CLEANING, DEPENDING UPON THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THE SYSTEM IS USED.
D
O NOT OPERATE THE NOTEBOOK IN AREAS WHERE THE AIR VENTS CAN BE OBSTRUCTED, SUCH AS IN TIGHT ENCLOSURES OR ON SOFT SURFACES LIKE
A BED OR CUSHION.
