Connecting a Port Replicator
You can connect a port replicator to the computer while the computer is off. Use the AC adapter (not the battery) to power
the computer while it is connected to a port replicator.
Moving the computer with the port replicator attached could disconnect the AC adapter or power cord, and may cause
the computer to lose power or malfunction.
To connect a port replicator
1. Turn off the computer, and disconnect all attached devices.
2. On the bottom of the computer, lift and remove the port replicator connector cover so the port replicator
connector is completely visible.
Rem ov ing the Port Replicator Connector Cov er
You can charge the battery by installing it before you connect the port replicator. The battery automatically
charges once you connect the AC adapter.
3. Align the connector on the bottom of the computer with the port replicator connector, and gently push the
computer down until it clicks into place.
