Chapter 3. Using the port replicator
This chapter provides information on how to use the audio connectors, USB connectors, DVI-I video output
connector, DVI-I to VGA adapter, and Ethernet connector on the port replicator.
You can connect devices to the appropriate connectors on the port replicator while your notebook computer
is turned on. Normally it will take several seconds for the notebook computer to recognize the new device.
Using the audio connectors
The audio connectors on the port replicator consist of one microphone connector (red) and one headphone
connector (green).
To use the audio connectors on the port replicator, do the following:
1. Connect your microphone to the microphone connector on the port replicator.
2. Connect your headphone or speaker to the headphone connector on the port replicator.
Note: The audio connectors on the port replicator are automatically enabled when you have successfully
connected the port replicator and installed the device driver. However, if you cannot hear anything from the
headphone or speaker connected to the audio connectors on the port replicator, you can manually enable
the audio connectors on the port replicator. See “Manually enabling the audio connectors” on page 11
.
Using the USB 2.0 connectors
Connect a USB device to any of the four USB connectors on the port replicator with a USB cable.
When the device is correctly connected to the USB connector on the port replicator, an information window
will be displayed in the taskbar notication area on your computer screen, indicating that the USB device
has been connected to the system.
Using the DVI-I video output connector
Connect the DVI cable of an external monitor to the DVI-I video output connector on the port replicator.
You do not have to disconnect the port replicator from your notebook computer each time you connect the
DVI monitor to the DVI-I video output connector on the port replicator.
Using the DVI-I to VGA adapter
The port replicator includes a DVI-I to VGA adapter, which supports a connection to an external monitor
with a VGA connector.
