PC Cards

4-3

Your Extensa computer supports all PCMCIA

and Cardbus PC Cards. These PC cards are

used to add functionality to your computer,

such as communicating over a telephone or

connecting to a network.

The computer has built-in slots that support one

Type III or two Type II/I PC Cards. Type III PC

Cards must be inserted into the lower slot.

Your Extensa computer is designed to support

additional functionality on top of the standard

Cardbus interface. These functions include the

Zoomed Video port interface required by MPEG

cards (on the bottom PC Card slot) and the

DataRace Speakerphone modems.

PS/2 Devices

4-4

You Extensa computer supports external devices

that connect to a PS/2 port. Such devices

include an external numeric keypad, external

keyboards, or external mouse.

External Monitor

4-5

Your Extensa computer supports standard

analog external monitors with resolutions up to

1280 x 1024 modes. The computer also

supports DDC compatible monitors allowing you

to use the “Green” monitors (those monitors that

meet the Energy Star standards).

When the computer is connected to an external

monitor, you can use the computer with the

display closed.

You can also display images on the external and

internal display at the same time. This feature

is called SimulSCAN™. To enable this feature,

set the DISPLAY parameter in Setup to Both.

You can also easily switch between the displays

LCD, CRT, or both by using the Fn+F12 hot key.

External Mouse

4-6

Your Extensa computer comes with a pointing

device already installed, but you can use an

external PS/2 or serial mouse.



To connect a PS/2 mouse, insert the

connector into the PS/2 port in the rear of

the Extensa.



To connect a serial mouse, attach the

connector to the 9-pin serial port in the rear

of the Extensa.

Note: A serial mouse is not a Plug and Play

device. For Windows 95 to detect a serial mouse,

use the Add New Hardware icon in the Control

Panel.

Memory

4-7

Your Extensa computer comes with 16 MB of

dynamic random access memory (DRAM). Your

computer also has two memory upgrade slots.

You can increase memory by installing an

upgrade module into either or both slots. You

can expand RAM from 16 MB up to 80 MB.

Caution: TI does not warrant the use of any

memory other than that supplied by TI

specifically for the Extensa computer. TI will

not be held responsible for problems or

degradation of performance incurred by using

any memory other than TI memory described

in this document.

Audio Options

4-8

Your computer comes with a set of built-in

stereo speakers and a monaural microphone,

but if you wish to use other stereo equipment,

the computer comes with three audio jacks —

Line-out, Line-in and Microphone-in.

Connecting Audio Devices

Line-out allows you to use a headset or

amplified external speakers. The computer’s

internal speakers are disabled when a headset

or external speakers are plugged in.

Line-in connects to an external stereo source.

This allows you to play an external CD through

the computer speakers, for example, or make a

recording if you have the correct software.

Microphone-in allows you to record input into

the computer through an external microphone.

Docking Option

4-9

The docking option is a full-featured port

replicator that duplicates all of the ports on your

computer plus some additional ports. The port

replicator allows you to have an easy one step

connect/disconnect to the various cables in the

back of your computer. See the instructions

that come with your port replicator for more

details.
