Port Replicator

Your LifeBook comes with a Port Replicator. The Port Replicator extends the functionality of your LifeBook by providing ports to connect PS/2 devices, a parallel device, a serial device, and an external floppy disk drive. The Port Replicator connects to the rear panel of your LifeBook. See “Device Ports” on page 46.

REAR PANEL COMPONENTS

Following is a brief description of your Port Replicator’s rear panel components.

PS/2 Mouse Port

The PS/2 mouse port allows you to connect an external PS/2 Mouse. (Figure 4-9)

Serial Port

The serial port allows you to connect serial (RS-232C) devices. (This is also sometimes referred to as a COMM port.) (Figure 4-9)

Parallel Port

The parallel port allows you to connect parallel devices. (This is also sometimes referred to as an LPT port.) (Figure 4-9)

External Monitor Port

The external monitor port allows you to connect an external VGA or SVGA monitor. Note that if a Port Replicator is attached, you must use the external monitor port on the Port Replicator. (Figure 4-9)

External Floppy Disk Drive Port

The external floppy disk drive port allows you to attach an optional external floppy disk drive. Note that if you are connecting a USB floppy disk drive, you must use the USB port on the system. (Figure 4-9)

LAN (RJ-45) Port

The LAN port allows you to connect a LAN to the Port Replicator. Note that when the system is attached to the Port Replicator, the LAN Port on the Port Replicator should be used, not the LAN Port on the system.

DC Power Jack

The DC power jack allows you to plug in the AC adapter to power your LifeBook and charge the internal Lithium ion battery.
