Setting Up the APR to Connect to a Network

NOTICE: Do not install a network adapter or a network adapter/modem combination PC Card until you complete the advanced port replicator (APR) setup.

NOTICE: To prevent serious operating system problems, do not dock your computer to an APR until the Windows operating system setup on the computer is complete.

An APR lets you more fully integrate your portable computer into a desktop environment.

For instructions and details on setting up an APR, refer to the documentation that came packaged with the device.

Power Protection Devices

Several devices are available that protect against power fluctuations and failures. Power protection devices include:

•Surge protectors

•Line conditioners

•Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)

Surge Protectors

Surge protectors and power strips equipped with surge protection help to prevent damage to your computer from voltage spikes that can occur during electrical storms or following power interruptions. The level of protection is usually commensurate with the cost of the surge protector. Some surge protector manufacturers include warranty coverage for certain types of damage. Dell recommends that you carefully read the device warranty when choosing a surge protector. Compare joule ratings to determine the relative effectiveness of different devices.
