Using the Advanced Port Replicator
HINT: If you receive a
BIOS upgrade floppy disk
with your APR, use the
disk to upgrade your
computer before you use
the APR.
The advanced port replicator (APR) integrates your computer into a
desktop environment. The APR includes a NIC to connect your computer
to a network.
NOTICE: Do not attempt to lift the computer while it is connected to the
APR. Doing so will damage the docking connector.
Connecting External Devices to the APR
HINT: If the cable
connector from the
external device has
thumbscrews, be sure to
tighten them to ensure a
proper connection.
1 See the following illustrations for connector locations.
2 Connect the external devices to an electrical outlet, if applicable.
The I/O connectors on the back and side of the APR duplicate the primary
connectors on the back and side of your computer.
