Port Replicator front side FRONT PANEL COMPONENTS The following is a brief description of the optional Port Replicator's front panel components. Alignment Bar The alignment bar allows you to use the port replicator to accommodate different LifeBook models. Alignment Bar Release Latch The alignment bar release latch allows the alignment bar to swing to a vertical position. Ground Contacts The ground contacts are designed to help protect your system by grounding it through the port replicator. Your LifeBook uses two of the four contacts, depending upon your notebook model. Port Replicator Latch Release The port replicator latch release allows you to disconnect the notebook from the port replicator. When the port replicator latch release is extended outwards, the Latches disengage and the Lifts raise the notebook slightly. Interface Connector The interface connector connects the optional port replicator to your notebook. ■ Do not hold the system by the port replicator. The port replicator and/or the system could be damaged if the port replicator is used as a handle. ■ The port replicator should only be used on a flat, stable surface. ATTACHING THE PORT REPLICATOR The port replicator can be attached to your notebook while the power is on, while in standby mode, or while the power is off. Before docking or undocking your notebook with the port replicator, be sure to touch a grounded metal object to prevent electrostatic discharge from affecting the computer components. The AC adapter must be plugged into the port replicator in order to use all of the ports. If the adapter is connected to the system, several of the ports on the port replicator will not be usable. To attach the port replicator, follow these steps: 1. Unplug the AC adapter from the system if it is connected. 2. Unplug any devices from the rear of the system (i.e., USB and LAN). 2. The port replicator is designed to be used with a variety of system configurations. Your model -- the LifeBook S7100 -- requires that the alignment bar be vertical. To make the alignment bar vertical, slide the alignment bar release latch forward until the alignment bar springs to a vertical position. (Figure 4-18) 50
