Using An Expansion Device; Using An Optional Advanced Port Replicator Iii Plus With Your Computer - Toshiba A8 S8514 - Tecra - Core 2 Duo GHz 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.
