Hot-Plug Peripheral Devices
Your Minidock Port Replicator supports hot-plug connections. Digital recommends if you are
connecting a device which utilizes speakers or are connecting speakers themselves, that you turn
off the power to the device or speakers before making the connection to the Replicator. This will
ensure that your speakers will not be damaged from any static discharges.
The External Monitor
1. Locate the VGA port on the back of the Minidock and connect the monitor
signal cable to it.
2. Tighten the thumb screws on the signal cable to secure the connection.
3. Ensure that the monitor is turned off. Connect the monitor’s power cord to a
wall outlet.
The Printer
1. Connect the printer signal cable to the Minidock’s parallel port located on the
rear of the notebook.
2. Tighten the thumb screws to secure the connection.
3. Ensure that the printer is turned off. Connect the printer’s power cord to a wall
outlet.
The MIDI
To connect a MIDI device to the MiniDock, please refer to the following:
1. Depending on the type of connector your MIDI has, you may or may not need
an adapter.
2. Connect the MIDI signal cable to the port. Tighten the thumb screws to secure
the connection.
