Using an expansion device
Using an expansion device
The expansion port is used to connect your computer to an
expansion device. This is an excellent investment if you are using
your computer both in and out of the office.
When you return to your desk, you can then connect to your
network, print reports from your computer, or use a mouse instead
of your computer’s pointing device. Connecting cables for each of
these devices every time you return to the office can be time-
consuming.
With an expansion device, you can leave external devices connected
while you are using your computer away from your desk. When
you return, you can quickly connect your computer and have
immediate access to all the devices.
For more information, see the accessories information package that
comes with the device or visit

the Toshiba Express Port Replicator must be properly aligned with
your computer. To properly connect the Toshiba Express Port
Replicator to your computer, see the Toshiba Express Port
