Docking Port
The docking port is used for the connection of your system to an optional port replicator. In order to
connect your system to one of these devices follow the instructions that came with your port replicator.
(See “Port Replicator” on page 89)
Universal Serial Bus Ports
The three Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 ports
(two on the left side, one on the right) allow
you to connect USB devices such as external
floppy disk drives, external DVD drives, game
pads, pointing devices, keyboards and/or
speakers. USB 2.0 is downward-compatible
with USB 1.1 devices, so older USB devices
will work with these ports. USB 2.0 is a much
faster design, running forty times faster than
USB 1.1.
In order to connect a USB device, follow these
easy steps:
1 Align the connector with the port opening.
2 Push the connector into the port until it is
seated.
