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
bottom side of the computer.
For further information, refer to the instruction manual of the port replicator or the car
mounter.
CAUTION
The driver of the port replicator or the car mounter is preinstalled in the computer. Do not install the driver using the
CD-ROM supplied with the port replicator or the car mounter.
Make sure the slide cover is completely open.
Hot or warm docking/undocking is not possible with the port replicator or the car mounter.
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.
Using an External Mouse
When you connect an external mouse or trackball to the external keyboard/mouse port of the port replicator or the car
mounter, some functions of the mouse or trackball (e.g. wheel function) will not work. To use the functions, perform the steps

After performing the steps below, some of the touch pad functions will not work.
