Using the Port Replicator
Connecting the port replicator
You must use the AC adapter to power the computer when it is connected to the
port replicator. However, you can insert the battery to charge it while you are
using the AC adapter to power the port replicator. Make sure you insert the
battery before you connect the port replicator. Lifting and turning the computer
with the port replicator attached could disconnect the AC adapter or unplug the
AC outlet and cause the computer to lose power and malfunction.
To connect the port replicator
1 Turn off the computer and disconnect all peripheral devices.
2 Plug the AC adapter connector into the DC IN port on the port replicator,
and plug the power cord into the AC adapter and an AC outlet. You will
know the power is on when the power indicator located on top of the port
replicator turns on.
3 Close the tilt stands before attaching the computer to the port replicator.
✍
The port replicator is powered only by the AC adapter, so the AC adapter must remain
connected to the port replicator at all times while it is in use.
