Notebook Easel

The notebook easel is the platform on which the LifeBook rests 
when connected to the Docking Cradle.

REAR PANEL COMPONENTS

The following is a brief description of the Docking Cradle’s rear 
components. 

(Figure 2)

USB Ports

There are four USB 2.0 ports on the Docking Cradle, one on the 
right side and three on the rear. USB 2.0 ports let you connect 
any USB 2.0 device for up to 480 Mbps transfer rate. USB 2.0 is 
backward-compatible with USB 1.1. 

External Video Connector

The external video connector allows you to connect an external 
video device such as a monitor or projector.

Stability Stand

The stability stand consists of a bracket which can be pulled 
away from the Docking Cradle to provide additional stability. 
When not in use, it can be pushed back into the Docking 
Cradle.

LAN (RJ-45) Jack 

The LAN port lets you connect an RJ-45 cable. Note that when 
your notebook is connected to the Docking Cradle, the docking 
connector on the system (to which you would ordinarily attache 
the LAN/monitor adapter cable) is not accessible; the Docking 
Cradle LAN port is the only one that can be used when attached 
to the system. 

DC Power Jack

The DC power jack allows you to plug in the AC adapter or the 
optional Auto/Airline adapter to power your notebook.
