Port Replicator
Your LifeBook comes with a Port Replicator. The Port
Replicator extends the functionality of your LifeBook by
providing ports to connect PS/2 devices, a parallel
device, a serial device, and an external floppy disk drive.
The Port Replicator connects to the rear panel of your
LifeBook. See “Device Ports” on page 46.
REAR PANEL COMPONENTS
Following is a brief description of your Port Replicator’s
rear panel components.
PS/2 Mouse Port
The PS/2 mouse port allows you to connect an external
PS/2 Mouse. (Figure 4-9)
Serial Port
The serial port allows you to connect serial (RS-232C)
devices. (This is also sometimes referred to as a COMM
port.) (Figure 4-9)
Parallel Port
The parallel port allows you to connect parallel devices.
(This is also sometimes referred to as an LPT port.)
(Figure 4-9)
External Monitor Port
The external monitor port allows you to connect an
external VGA or SVGA monitor. Note that if a Port
Replicator is attached, you must use the external
monitor port on the Port Replicator. (Figure 4-9)
External Floppy Disk Drive Port
The external floppy disk drive port allows you to attach
an optional external floppy disk drive. Note that if you
are connecting a USB floppy disk drive, you must use
the USB port on the system. (Figure 4-9)
LAN (RJ-45) Port
The LAN port allows you to connect a LAN to the Port
Replicator. Note that when the system is attached to the
Port Replicator, the LAN Port on the Port Replicator
should be used, not the LAN Port on the system.
