Using Peripheral Devices

Connecting a Port Replicator

Attaching a port replicator enables you to connect additional peripherals to your computer, such as a printer and an external
display.

A port replicator may be delivered with your computer, depending on the model you purchased. If not, you can additionally
purchase an optional port replicator.

See the printed Specifications sheet to see whether your model comes with a port replicator.
