THE SYSTEM CONTAINS COMPONENTS THAT CAN BE SEVERELY DAMAGED BY ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE
(ESD). T
O MINIMIZE RISK TO THE COMPONENTS, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:
• BEFORE DOCKING OR UNDOCKING YOUR LIFEBOOK WHEN USING A PORT REPLICATOR, YOU SHOULD 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 SLEEP STATES, DATA COULD BE LOST OR MEMORY COULD BE DAMAGED IF POWER IS
STILL AVAILABLE TO THE SYSTEM.
• ALTHOUGH DISPLAYPORT AND DVI-D DEVICES ARE SUPPORTED BY THE PORT REPLICATOR, ONLY ONE CAN BE
USED AT ANY TIME. AN INTERNAL SWITCH RECOGNIZES WHICH TYPE OF DEVICE IS CONNECTED. IF BOTH ARE
CONNECTED AT THE SAME TIME, DISPLAYPORT HAS THE HIGHER PRIORITY.
• A DISPLAYPORT OR DVI-D DEVICE CAN BE USED CONCURRENTLY WITH AN EXTERNAL VIDEO DEVICE THAT IS
CONNECTED TO THE ANALOG EXTERNAL VGA PORT.
• HOT PLUG IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE DISPLAYPORT OR DVI-D PORTS.
• IF A DISPLAYPORT-TO-HDMI CONVERTER IS CONNECTED TO THE DISPLAYPORT, SOUND WILL NOT BE OUTPUT
FROM THE HDMI DEVICE. TO USE AN HDMI DEVICE, PLUG IT INTO THE HDMI PORT ON THE SYSTEM’S LEFT SIDE.
