Port Replicator*
Ideal for quick connect/disconnect of peripheral devices,
the optional Port Replicator extends the functionality of
your LifeBook notebook by providing ports to connect a
LAN (RJ-45) cable, an external video device, two USB
2.0 devices, and DC power.
The Port Replicator connects to the bottom of your
notebook. See “Device Ports” on page 50.
PORT REPLICATOR COMPONENTS
Following is a description of the Port Replicator components.
(Figure 4-13)
DC Power Jack
The DC power jack allows you to plug in the AC adapter
to power your notebook and charge the internal Lithium
ion battery. The DC power jack is located on the end of
the port replicator.
USB 2.0 Ports (Qty. 2)
Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 ports allow you to
connect USB devices. USB 2.0 ports are backward-
compatible with USB 1.1 devices.
External Video Port
The external video port allows you to connect an
external monitor or LCD projector. Note that if a Port
Replicator is attached, you must use the external video
port on the Port Replicator, not the one on your system.
LAN (RJ-45) Jack
The LAN jack allows you to connect a LAN to the Port
Replicator. Note that when the system is attached to the
Port Replicator, the LAN Jack on the Port Replicator
should be used, not the one on the system.
