You can increase the portability of the computer with additional battery
packs (3 cell: PA3533U-1BRS/PA3533U-1BAS, 6 cell: PA3534U-1BRS/
PA3534U-1BAS, 9 cell: PA3535U-1BRS/PA3535U-1BAS). If you’re away
from an AC power source, you can replace a low battery with a fully
charged one. See Chapter 6,
Power and Power-up Modes .
Additional AC adaptor
If you frequently transport the computer between different sites such as
your home and office, purchasing an AC adaptor(PA3468U-1ACA,
PA3468E-1AC3, PA3516U-1ACA, PA3516E-1AC3, PA3290U-3ACA,
PA3290E-3AC3) for each location will reduce the weight and bulk of your
carrying load.
USB FDD Kit
The 3 1/2" external FDD drive module can be connected to the USB port.
External monitor
An external analog monitor can be connected to the external monitor port
on the computer, Port Replicator. The computer supports VGA and Super
VGA video modes. To connect a monitor, follow the steps below.
1. Connect the monitor to the external monitor port.
2. Turn the monitor’s power on.
When you turn on the power, the computer automatically recognizes the
monitor and determines whether it is color or monochrome.
You can use the HW Setup to select between Auto-Selected and
LCD+Analog RGB displays. Refer to Chapter 7, HW Setup and Passwords .
If you have selected LCD+Analog RGB under the Display options of the HW
Setup, both the external monitor and the internal LCD will be active when
you turn on the computer. If
Auto-Selected is selected, only the external
monitor will be active.
If an external monitor is connected to the computer, do not connect the
Port Replicator. First disconnect the external monitor from the computer
then connect the Port Replicator and use its external monitor port.
The hibernation and sleep feature can be used with an external monitor.
Simply enable hibernation and sleep and the computer will maintain the
data as it is displayed on the external monitor.
