FRONT PANEL COMPONENTS
The following is a brief description of the optional Port
Replicator’s front panel components.
Interface Connector
The interface connector connects the optional port
replicator to your notebook.
Adjustable Guide Bar
The adjustable guide bar allows you to use the port repli-
cator with different LifeBook models.
Microphone Jack
The microphone jack allows you to attach an external
microphone via the port replicator.
Headphone Jack
The headphone jack allows you to connect headphones
to the port replicator.
Anti-theft Lock Slot
The anti-theft lock slot allows you to secure the port
replicator with an optional security lock/cable.
ATTACHING THE PORT REPLICATOR
The port replicator can be attached to your notebook
while the power is on, while in suspend mode, or while
the power is off.
To attach the port replicator, follow these easy steps:
1. Unplug the AC adapter from the system if it is con-
nected.
2. Depending upon the configuration of your system,
you may need to change the position of the adjust-
able guide bar. Note the location of the interface
port on the bottom of your LifeBook:
■
If the interface port is approximately an inch
from the edge of the system, swing the guide bar
backwards until it rests atop the port replicator
base.
■
If the interface port is approximately two inches
away from the edge of the system, swing the guide
bar forward until it snaps into place inside the
positioners. (See the grey arrow in Figure 2).
3. Center your notebook over the port replicator so
that the interface connector on the lower surface of
your notebook aligns with the connector on top of
the port replicator (Figure 4-13).
4. Push your notebook down to connect it securely to
the port replicator.
5. Plug the AC adapter into the DC power jack and
plug the other end into a power outlet.

system, the USB and PS/2 ports on the port
replicator will not be usable.
