Port Replicator / Car Mounter
You can use an optional port replicator and a car mounter. These devices free you from being
bothered by a lot of cable connections when you carry the computer. They also allow you to
connect various peripherals.
Connect the port replicator or the car mounter to the expansion bus connector (A) on the rear
side of the computer.
For further information, refer to the instruction manual of the port replicator or the car
mounter.
CAUTION
Make sure the slide cover is completely open.
Hot or warm docking/undocking is not possible with the port replicator or the car mounter.
When an external display is connected to the port replicator or the car mounter and the 1280 x 1024 and 1440 x 900
resolution is selected, the characters may be blurred on the external display. In this case, select the lower resolution.
To boot the computer from a USB floppy disk drive or a USB CD/DVD drive, be sure to connect the USB drive to the
USB port on the computer, not to the USB port on the port replicator or the car mounter.
You cannot use the AC adaptor (CF-AA1653A) included with this computer for the port replicator or the car mounter.
Contact Panasonic Technical Support.
<Only for CF-VEB272AW>
To connect a USB 2.0 device, use the USB port of the computer.
NOTE
When you do not use the expansion bus connector, close the slide cover so that por-
tion (B) matches the mark (C).
