Using the expansion port

Using the expansion port
The expansion port, located on the bottom of your computer, is
used to attach expansion devices such as a Port Replicator (not
shipped with your system). A Port Replicator is an excellent
investment if you are using your computer both in and out of the
office. While you are using your computer away from your desk,
you can leave network cables and external devices (such as printers,
a mouse, speakers, and USB devices) connected to a Port
Replicator on your desk. When you return to your desk, you can
then quickly connect your computer to the Port Replicator and have
immediate access to all of your network resources and external
devices. This eliminates the time-consuming process of connecting
each external device individually, and saves wear and tear on the
ports and cables.
To achieve a proper connection between your computer and the Port
Replicator, your computer must be properly aligned with the Port
Replicator. For more information, consult the user's manual that
came with your Port Replicator, or visit support.toshiba.com.
