To attach the notebook to the port replicator
First, connect the supplied AC adapter or another Sony adapter (not supplied) to the port replicator to supply power to the
notebook once the port replicator is attached.
The port replicator can be powered only by the AC adapter, so the AC adapter must remain connected to the port replicator
at all times while it is in use. If the AC adapter is disconnected and/or the AC outlet is unplugged while using the port
replicator, the computer may malfunction and data may be lost.
1.
Turn off the notebook and disconnect all peripheral devices.
2.
Plug the AC adapter connector into the
DC IN
port on the port replicator, and plug the power cord into the AC
adapter and an AC outlet.
