153 Exploring Your Computer's Features Using an expansion device Do not touch the contacts (metal area). You could expose the storage area to static electricity, which can destroy data. Do not remove memory media while data is being written or read. Even when the message ìcopying...î in the windows disappears, writing to the media might still be in progress and your data could be destroyed. Wait for the indicator light to go out. Using an expansion device The expansion port is used to connect your computer to an expansion device. This is an excellent investment if you are using your computer both in and out of the office. When you return to your desk, you can then connect to your network, print reports from your computer, or use a mouse instead of the TouchPad. Connecting cables for each of these devices every time you return to the office is time-consuming and inconvenient. With an expansion device, you can leave external devices connected while you are using your computer away from your desk. When you return, you can quickly connect your computer and have immediate access to all the devices.
