ACER PORT
REPLICATOR
Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Acer Port
Replicator. This portable expansion module allows you to
connect through a single USB connection up to 4 USB
devices, a network (Ethernet/LAN) connection, speakers
and microphone, PS/2 mouse and keyboard, a serial and
a parallel device. Also, the slot lock and the universal lock
support provided help you secure your docking station to
your desktop.
The port replicator also features Always On technology,
USB Power Port providing twice the USB specification for
higher power requirement devices, and USB ports that
are widely spaced to accommodate larger adapters.
Always On provides power to the USB ports even when
the notebook is shut-down, disconnected from the
docking station or in hibernate/stand-by mode. This
allows USB devices that charge via the USB port to keep
charging under any circumstance.
Features
Heat dissipation by natural convection:
Place the back edge of your laptop on the rubber pads of
the Port Replicator. Most laptops dissipate heat through
the bottom and the more air that’s allowed to flow under
the bottom, the better chance that heat will dissipate by
natural convection.
