1. Refer to Figure 1-1 to attach external devices to the appropriate connectors on
the back of the port replicator.
NOTES: If the cable connector from the external device has thumbscrews, be
sure to tighten them to ensure a proper connection.
To connect the computer to a network, you must have a network card in your
computer. The advanced port replicator has a network card, so another card is
not required. However, the pass-through port replicator does not have a network
card so you must install a network card in your computer.
The port replicators do not provide small computer system interface (SCSI) sup-
port. To connect the computer to a SCSI device, you must attach a SCSI card to
your computer. See “PC Cards” in the system
Help for information about using
PC Cards.
For detailed information on using external devices with your computer, see “Con-
necting External Devices” in the system
Help .
2. Connect the external devices to an electrical outlet, if applicable.
