PortBar II Accessory (Cont')

Docking Solution

For long-term use of the Notebook PC or if the Notebook PC is intended to be a desktop replacement
computer, the PortBar provides a convenient docking solution. A desktop PS/2 mouse, PS/2 keyboard,
monitor, printer, serial device, and Notebook PC power can all be connected to the PortBar. When the
Notebook PC is used on a permanent desk, the single docking connector can be easily used to connect
or disconnect all of these desktop peripherals at once. The result is a complete desktop computer with
a space-saving flat panel! When portability is required simply remove the PortBar connector (and other
cables if used) and you're off!
TIP: A second power adapter will be useful so that you do not have to get under your
desk to unplug the power cord each time you transport your Notebook PC. With a
second power adapter kept within the carrying case, you will always have it with you
when you take off in a hurry.
