Learning the Basics
Using your computer at the office
Before removing a PC Card, stop it by clicking the PC Card
(PCMCIA) icon on the taskbar. After the PC Card is stopped, you
can safely remove it.
Using your computer at the office
By connecting an external monitor, external full-size keyboard,
and a mouse, you can work with your notebook as if it were a
standard office computer.
An external monitor connects to the computer’s monitor port.
An external PS/2-compatible keyboard or a PS/2 mouse connects
to the PS/2 port of a port replicator. An optional Y-cable lets you
connect both devices to the port simultaneously.
An external USB mouse connects to one of the computer’s USB
ports. For a serial mouse you need to attach the computer to the
optional port replicator.
For more information on connecting these and other components,
see
“Connecting Other External Devices” on page 51 .
Using a computer lock
For your own peace of mind, you may want to secure your
computer to a heavy object such as your desk. The easiest way to
do this is to purchase an optional PORT-Noteworthy Computer
Lock Cable.
