Using an expansion device

Using an expansion device
The expansion port allows you to connect your computer to a
port replicator, which is an excellent investment if you're
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 AccuPoint II. Connecting cables for
each of these devices every time you return to the office is
time-consuming and inconvenient.
With a port replicator, 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.
A port replicator also provides serial, parallel and PS/2 ports
to support legacy devices such as a serial mouse and PS/2
keyboard.
For more information, see the documentation that comes with
the device.
To purchase an expansion device, see the accessories
information packaged with your system or visit Toshiba's
