Port Replicator

Setting the Port Replicator
A port replicator is available as an option (CF-VEB272A). This device eliminates the hassles
of having you connect/disconnect the various cables when carrying your computer around
and allows a variety of peripherals to be connected including a headphone or microphone,
etc.
The port replicator connects to the expansion bus connector(A) on the back of your
computer.
For more detailed information, refer to the Operating Instructions of the port replicator.
CAUTION
Hot/Warm Docking and Hot/Warm Undocking are not possible with the port replicator.
When connecting the external display to the display port on the port replicator, the
characters on the external display may be blurred if 1280 x 1024 (or a higher
resolution) is set. In this case, select a resolution that is lower than 1280 x 1024.
When using a USB 2.0 device, connect the device to the USB port of the computer.
The AC Adaptor (CF-AA1653A) included with the computer cannot be used for the
port replicator. Contact Panasonic Technical Support.
NOTE
When the expansion bus connector is not in use, be sure to close the cover until the
protuberance (B) matches up with the mark (C).
The serial port B and the microphone jack of the port replicator cannot be used with the
default settings. To be able to use the serial port B and/or the microphone jack of the port
replicator, be sure to follow the steps below.
