Expansion Port; External Monitor; Television - Toshiba Tecra A3 User Manual

Expansion port

The expansion port allows you to connect your computer to an expansion
device, which is an excellent investment if you are using your computer both
in and out of the office.
When you return to your desk, you probably want to connect to your network,
print reports from your computer, or use a mouse instead of the AccuPointII.
Connecting cables for each of these devices everytime you return to the
office is time-consuming and inconvenient.
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.
