Making Connections
Using an Expansion Base
Using an Expansion Base
The multimedia expansion base enhances your computer's capabilities as a portable
computer system. It provides space for additional drives and batteries, as well as
expanded multimedia performance.
The expansion base also makes your computer more convenient for desktop use. By
making a single connection—docking your computer into the base—you get easy access
to these devices:
• Printer or other parallel device.
• Universal serial bus (USB) devices.
• External keyboard and mouse.
• External monitor and television.
• Local area network (LAN).
• Audio devices such as external speakers, headphones, or stereo inputs.
• Plug-in modules.
