Using An Expansion Device; Using An Optional Toshiba Slim Port Replicator Ii With Your Computer - Toshiba PORTEGE R500 Series User Manual

Using an expansion device

The expansion port is used to connect your computer to an
expansion device. This is an excellent investment if you are using
your computer both in and out of the office.
When you return to your desk, you can then connect to your
network, print reports from your computer, or use a mouse instead
of your computer's pointing device. Connecting cables for each of
these devices every time you return to the office can be time-
consuming.
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.
For more information, see the accessories information package that
comes with the device or visit accessories.toshiba.com.
