Note

To use the port replicator

(On models provided with a docking connector.) With the optional port replicator, you
can connect external components—and then avoid disconnecting and reconnecting them
each time you take the computer on the road. You can find additional information about
the port replicator in the manual that comes with it.
The port replicator does not come with its own AC adapter. You use the AC adapter
from the notebook PC to power the PC and the port replicator together.
To connect to the port replicator
1. Plug in the AC adapter to house power, then connect it to the rear of the port
replicator. Make sure that the AC status light is on.
2. Align the computer with the locator pins on the port replicator.
3. Press the computer down until it clicks into place. Make sure that the dock status light
is on.
4. Open the computer and press the blue standby button to turn it on.
After the computer is turned on, you can close the lid while it is running.
