To use the port replicator
You can use the optional port replicator to connect external components to your
notebook.
For details about the port replicator and its use, refer to the manual that comes with it.
To connect to the port replicator
1. Plug in the AC adapter, then connect it to the rear of the port replicator. Make sure
that the AC status light is on.
2. Align the notebook with the locator pins on the port replicator.
3. Press the notebook down until it clicks into place. Make sure that the dock status light
is on.
4. Open the notebook and press the power button to turn it on.
When the notebook is docked, you can use the port replicator’s security connector to
secure the notebook and port replicator. In this situation, the port replicator’s release tab
does not work. See the port replicator manual for details.
