Technology and componentsThis chapter details the technology and components available in the system.Topics:• Power adapter• DDR4• HDMI 1.4• USB featuresPower adapterThis laptop is shipped with 7.4mm barrel plug on 65 W or 65 W BFR/PVC Halogen Free or 90 W power adapter.WARNING: When you disconnect the power adapter cable from the laptop, grasp the connector, not the cable itself, and thenpull firmly but gently to avoid damaging the cable.WARNING: The power adapter works with electrical outlets worldwide. However, power connectors and power strips varyamong countries.

DDR4 synchronous dynamic random-access memory is keyeddifferently from both SDRAM and DDR to prevent the user from installing the wrong type of memory into the system.DDR4 needs 20 percent less or just 1.2 volts, compared to DDR3 which requires 1.5 volts of electrical power to operate. DDR4 also supportsa new, deep power-down mode that allows the host device to go into standby without needing to refresh its memory. Deep power-downmode is expected to reduce standby power consumption by 40 to 50 percent.DDR4 DetailsThere are subtle differences between DDR3 and DDR4 memory modules, as listed below.Key notch differenceThe key notch on a DDR4 module is in a different location from the key notch on a DDR3 module. Both notches are on the insertion edgebut the notch location on the DDR4 is slightly different, to prevent the module from being installed into an incompatible board or platform.3Technology and components 49
