thumbscrews.

The standard port replicator also doubles as a desktop stand for the HAMMERHEAD RT. Simply press the male docking connector on the port replicator into the female docking connector on the back of the unit. The connectors are correctly oriented and only fit in one direction. It is impossible to join them incorrectly. Make sure the connector is fully inserted confirming the port replicator fits snuggly against the back of the computer. Turn the thumbscrews in a clockwise direction to ensure a reliable, positive connection. Do not over tighten. Do not connect the port replicator to the computer while power is attached to the port replicator. Attach the port replicator and then attach the power to the port replicator.

Flat port replicators and custom cable sets are available when connectivity is needed while the unit is mobile. External power should be connected to the port replicators after being firmly connected to the HAMMERHEAD RT. Some custom configurations provide access to ports in the computer housing.
