side of the computer.
For further information, refer to the instruction manual of the port replicator or the car
mounter.

When using a conventional port replicator (such as the CF-VEB272AW / CF-VEB272A2W), power consumption will
automatically be lowered to match the port replicator’s specification using one or more of the following measures.
• The CPU clock rate is lowered.
• The battery is not charged while the computer is turned on. (The battery indicator blinks in orange.)
<When the discrete GPU with higher power consumption is activated>
• The discrete GPU will be forcibly deactivated, and the Intel
®
GPU with lower power consumption will be activated.
<When the discrete GPU with higher power consumption is activated>
