The port replicator can be powered only with an AC power adapter. Do not remove the
AC adapter from the port replicator or the AC outlet while using the port replicator; this
may cause data damage or hardware malfunctions.
When you attach your computer to the port replicator for the first time, the installation
of the network driver starts automatically.
