Port Replicator

An optional Port Replicator is available from Fujitsu to support your LifeBook P1600 Series notebook. The Port Replicator extends the functionality of your system by providing ports to connect USB devices, an external monitor, external speaker, or a LAN device. The Port Replicator connects to the bottom of your notebook. See “Device Ports” on page 47.

PORT REPLICATOR COMPONENTS

Following is a description of the Port Replicator components.

(Figure 4-7)

DC Power Jack

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

USB 2.0 Ports (Qty. 2)

Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 ports allow you to connect USB devices. USB 2.0 ports are backward-compatible with USB 1.1 devices.

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, not the one on your system.

LAN (RJ-45) Jack

The LAN jack allows you to connect a LAN to the Port Repli- cator. Note that when the system is attached to the Port Repli-

cator, the LAN Jack on the Port Replicator should be used, not the one on the system.

Docking Port

The docking port connects the Port Replicator to your Life- Book notebook.

Port Replicator Release Latch

Pull the Port Replicator Release latch away from the Port Repli- cator to remove the Port Replicator from your notebook.

■The system contains components that can be severely damaged by electro- static discharge (ESD). To minimize risk to the components, observe the following precautions:

■Before docking or undocking your LifeBook notebook (when using a port replicator), it is a good practice to always touch a grounded metal object to discharge static electricity built up in your body.

■Be sure to power down your system before adding or removing system components. Even if the system is in hibernate or standby states, data could be lost or memory could be damaged if power is still available to the system.
