THE SYSTEM CONTAINS COMPONENTS THAT CAN BE SEVERELY DAMAGED BY ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD). TO MINIMIZE RISK TO THE
COMPONENTS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:
• BEFORE DOCKING OR UNDOCKING YOUR LIFEBOOK WHEN USING A PORT REPLICATOR, YOU SHOULD TOUCH A GROUNDED METAL OBJECT TO
DISCHARGE STATIC ELECTRICITY BUILT UP IN YOUR BODY.
• BE SURE TO POWER DOWN YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE ADDING OR REMOVING SYSTEM COMPONENTS. EVEN IF THE SYSTEM IS IN HIBERNATE OR SLEEP
STATES, DATA COULD BE LOST OR MEMORY COULD BE DAMAGED IF POWER IS STILL AVAILABLE TO THE SYSTEM.
• ALTHOUGH DISPLAYPORT AND DVI-D DEVICES ARE SUPPORTED BY THE PORT REPLICATOR, ONLY ONE CAN BE USED AT ANY TIME. AN INTERNAL
SWITCH RECOGNIZES WHICH TYPE OF DEVICE IS CONNECTED. IF BOTH ARE CONNECTED AT THE SAME TIME, DISPLAYPORT HAS THE HIGHER PRIORITY.
• A DISPLAYPORT OR DVI-D DEVICE CAN BE USED CONCURRENTLY WITH AN EXTERNAL VIDEO DEVICE THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE ANALOG EXTERNAL
VGA
PORT.
• HOT PLUG IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE DISPLAYPORT OR DVI-D PORTS.
• IF A DISPLAYPORT-TO-HDMI CONVERTER IS CONNECTED TO THE DISPLAYPORT, SOUND WILL NOT BE OUTPUT FROM THE HDMI DEVICE. TO USE
AN HDMI DEVICE, PLUG IT INTO THE HDMI PORT ON THE SYSTEM’S LEFT SIDE.
