Port Replicator; Rear Panel Components - Fujitsu LifeBook T901 Series User Manual

Port Replicator

An optional Port Replicator is available from
Fujitsu to support your LifeBook T901 Series
Tablet PC. The Port Replicator extends the
functionality of your Tablet PC by providing
ports to connect USB devices, an external
monitor, external speaker, or a LAN device. The
Port Replicator connects to the bottom of your
Tablet PC.

Rear Panel Components

Following is a brief description of the optional Port
Replicator's rear panel components.
1. External DVI Port
The external Digital Video Interface (DVI) port
allows you to connect an external digital fl at-
panel monitor or projector. This provides a
pure digital video signal for digital monitors.
2. USB 2.0 Ports
The four USB 2.0 por ts allow you to
connect USB devices such as game pads,
pointing devices, and keyboards. USB 2.0 is
downward-compatible with USB 1.1 devices,
so older USB devices will work with these
ports. USB 2.0 is a much faster design,
running 40 times faster than USB 1.1.

You can use this port to connect to a TV with
DisplayPort for high quality video output.
The DisplayPort supports both video and
audio output.
The external monitor port allows you to
connect an external monitor. Note that if a
Port Replicator is attached, you must use the
external monitor port on the Port Replicator.
(Figure 4-8)
The LAN jack allows you to connect a LAN
to the Port Replicator. Note that when the
system is attached to the Port Replicator,
the LAN Jack on the Port Replicator should
be used, not the one on the system.
The line out jack is used for connecting an
external speaker. Note that line out does
not provide power, so the speaker must be
externally powered.
The DC power jack allows you to plug in the
AC adapter to power your Tablet PC and
charge the internal Lithium ion battery.
