Using an expansion device
The expansion port is used to connect your computer to an
expansion device. This is an excellent investment if you are
using your computer both in and out of the office.
When you return to your desk, you can then connect to your
network, print reports from your computer, or use a mouse
instead of your computer’s pointing device. Connecting
cables for each of these devices every time you return to the
office can be time consuming.
With an expansion device, you can leave external devices
connected while you are using your computer away from
your desk. When you return, you can quickly connect your
computer and have immediate access to all the devices.
For more information, see the accessories information
package that comes with the device or visit

Using an Optional Advanced Port Replicator III Plus with
your computer
If you purchase an optional Advanced Port Replicator III Plus
(APR III Plus) (not shipped with your system), you can
connect this device to your computer's expansion port. In
order to achieve a proper connection, the APR III Plus must
be properly aligned with your computer. The correct position
is indicated by symbols ( ) on both your computer and the
APR III Plus. To properly connect the APR III Plus to your
computer, see the Advanced Port Replicator III Plus User’s
Guide or visit pcsupport.toshiba.com.
