Attaching/Detaching a Port Replicator
You can attach your VAIO computer to a port replicator (not supplied).
To attach the port replicator
1.
Turn off your VAIO computer and all peripheral devices connected to the computer,
and disconnect the devices from the computer.
Hint
Disconnect the AC adapter and cables connected to the monitor port and
HDMI
output port on your VAIO computer. You cannot attach your VAIO computer to the
port replicator with these cables connected.
2.
Connect the port replicator to an AC power source.
Plug one end of the power cord (1) into the AC adapter (2) and the other end into an
AC outlet (3).
And then, plug the cable from the AC adapter into the DC IN port (4) on the port
replicator.
The DC IN indicator light turns on.
3.
Remove the port replicator connector cover from the bottom of your VAIO computer.
Note
The port replicator connector cover may be difficult to remove. Be careful not to
damage your VAIO computer or the cover by exerting extra pressure when you
remove the cover. Be sure to keep the removed cover for future use.
4.
Align the rear bottom corners of your VAIO computer with the guides on the port
replicator.
