Using the Advanced Port Replicator

The advanced port replicator (APR) integrates your computer into a
desktop environment. The APR includes a network adapter to connect your
computer to a network.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to lift the computer while it is connected to the
APR. Doing so will damage the docking connector.

Connecting External Devices to the APR

See the following illustrations for connector locations.
1
Connect the external devices to an electrical outlet, if applicable.
2
The I/O connectors on the back and side of the APR duplicate the primary
connectors on the back and side of your computer.
HINT:
If you receive a
BIOS upgrade floppy disk
with your APR, use the
disk to upgrade the BIOS
before you use the APR.
HINT: If the cable
connector from the
external device has
thumbscrews, be sure to
tighten them to ensure a
proper connection.
