Port Replicator Power Overload: If a power shutdown occurs intermittently when PC Card devices are used with a port replicator, suspect an over-current problem. Some PC Card devices use much power, and if at some point the required power exceeds the allowed power, a power shutdown occurs. Isolate this problem to a device by removing each device simultaneously and then using the computer under the same condition as when the power shutdown occurred. This will determine which device is causing the overload. IBM ThinkPad 380XD, 385XD (2635) 37

Port Replicator Power Overload:
If a power
shutdown occurs intermittently when PC Card devices are
used with a port replicator, suspect an over-current
problem.
Some PC Card devices use much power, and if
at some point the required power exceeds the allowed
power, a power shutdown occurs.
Isolate this problem to a
device by removing each device simultaneously and then
using the computer under the same condition as when the
power shutdown occurred.
This will determine which
device is causing the overload.
