The following components are found on the left panel of the notebook:

• Four USB ports;
• One FireWire port;
• A PC Card slot (for cards of type II);
• Line-In audio input;
• Microphone input;
• Headphones output.

A network connector and the slit of a trayless DVD-RW drive are located at the right panel of the notebook. For me, it’s much easier to work with an optical drive of this design, but there’s one minor drawback to that – you can’t use mini-discs.

The following ports and connectors are located at the rear panel of the notebook:

• RJ-11 modem connector;
• RJ-45 network connector;
• 25-pin parallel port;
• D-Sub connector for an external monitor;
• TV-Out port;
• Kensington lock and vent holes.

At the back side of the case of the Ferrari 3200 you can find the covers of the HDD, memory, WLAN miniPCI card and accumulator battery compartments, a pocket for the owner's personal card, the logo of the DASP technology (it protects the hard disk drive against shocks and vibrations), and vent holes.
