on the computer and on the APR.
After docking, if the computer is turned on, the power button light on the APR turns from amber to green. See the
following table for more information on docking control lights. If the light behavior does not match the table, perform

Connecting External Devices to the APR
NOTE: If the cable connector of the external device has thumbscrews, tighten them to ensure a proper connection.
1. Connect the device's cable to the appropriate connector on the APR.
2. Attach the cable cover to the back of the APR after you connect all the devices so that the cables remain hidden under
the cable cover. See the engraved instructions inside the cable cover.
