Working with the notebook
Connecting the notebook to the Port Replicator
The mains adapter must be connected to the Port Replicator when the
notebook is connected to the Port Replicator.
We recommend that the notebook is not operated with the LCD screen closed when
the notebook is connected to the Port Replicator. The resulting overheating can
cause reduced performance and increased activity of the integrated fan.

► Position the notebook so t

► Place the notebook onto the Port Replicator (1) and ensure that it locks into place correctly.
If necessary, secure the notebook and port replicator by closing the
key lock on the port replicator.

When the notebook is connected to a Port Replicator, the operating system creates
a hardware profile for the "Docked" mode. In this profile, for example, the setting is
saved as to which monitor was last used for output. This profile will be loaded, as
soon as the notebook is connected to a Port Replicator of the same type.
