detect additional
devices and add
drivers after being

replicator. This process
must be completed for
components to work
correctly. Follow any
on-screen instructions,
if necessary.

power button controls
both the notebook
and the port replicator
only after the port
replicator is connected
to AC power.

monitor port is
disabled when the

to use an external
monitor, plug it into
the monitor port on

The notebook’s
Ethernet jack is
disabled when the
port replicator is
connected to the

the Ethernet jack on
the port replicator.
