Connecting a Port Replicator
Connect a port replicator to the computer while the computer is off. Use the AC adapter (not the battery) to power the
computer while it is connected to a port replicator.
Moving the computer with the port replicator attached could disconnect the AC adapter or power cord, and may cause
the computer to lose power or malfunction.
To connect a port replicator
1. Turn off the computer, and disconnect all attached devices.
2. On the bottom of the computer, slide the port replicator cover down until the port replicator connector is
completely visible.

an AC outlet. The power indicator turns on.
