- Locating the Controls and Connectors
HDMI Port (or DisplayPort)
The HDMI port (featuring NVidia graphics) is used to connect compatible digital devices with your computer (such as
a high-definition television or AV receiver). See “HDMI Port or DisplayPort” on page 78. Note that on certain
configurations of this LIFEBOOK, the HDMI port is replaced by a DisplayPort connector (featuring Intel HD graphics).
Microphone/Line-In Jack
The microphone/line-in jack allows you to connect an external mono microphone. See “Microphone/Line-In Jack” on
page 79.
Headphone/Line Out Jack
The headphone/line out jack allows you to connect headphones. See “Headphone/Line-Out Jack” on page 80.
USB 3.0 Port (or E-SATA/USB 3.0 Combo Port)
Note that on certain configurations of this LIFEBOOK, the USB 3.0 port is replaced by an E-SATA (External Serial
Advanced Technology Attachment)/USB 3.0 combo port. E-SATA is an external version of SATA, which connects your
computer to the hard drive. SATA is an interface that is much faster than typical IDE interfaces (E-SATA is six times
faster than USB 2.0). E-SATA is ideal for backing up large files on an external hard drive. This port can also be used as
a standard USB 3.0 port.
Air Vents
The air vents allow air to circulate through the system to cool down the components.
