Chapter 3. Using the Lenovo USB Port Replicator with Digital
Video
This chapter provides information on how to use the audio connectors, USB connectors, DVI-I video
output connector, DVI-I to VGA adapter, and Ethernet connector on the port replicator.
You can connect devices to the appropriate connectors on the port replicator while your notebook
computer is turned on. Normally it will take several seconds for the notebook computer to recognize the
new device.
Using the audio connectors
The audio connectors on the port replicator consists of one microphone connector (red) and one
headphone connector (green).
To use the audio connectors on the port replicator, do the following:
1. Connect your microphone to the microphone connector on the port replicator.
2. Connect your headphones or speakers to the headphone connector on the port replicator.
Note: The audio connectors on the port replicator are automatically enabled when you have successfully
connected the port replicator and installed the device driver. However, if you cannot hear anything
from the headphones or speakers connected to the audio connectors on the port replicator, you can
manually enable the audio connectors on the port replicator. See “Manually enabling the audio
connectors” on page 9.
Using the USB 2.0 connectors
Connect a USB device to any of the five USB connectors on the port replicator with a USB cable.
When the device is correctly connected to the USB connector on the port replicator, an information
window will be displayed in the taskbar notification area on your computer screen, indicating that the
USB device has been connected to the system.
Using the DVI-I video output connector
Connect the DVI cable of an external monitor to the DVI-I video output connector on the port replicator.
You do not have to disconnect the port replicator from your notebook computer each time you connect
the DVI monitor to the DVI-I video output connector on the port replicator.
