Serial Mouse Connection
1. Locate the serial port on the back of your Port Replicator.
2. Connect the serial mouse to the serial port and tighten the thumb screws.
The Keyboard
Hot plug an external keyboard into the Minidock, while at the same time being able to take
advantage of the notebook’s keyboard and touch pad.
1. Locate the port on the back of your Port Replicator.
2. Gently push the 6-pin connector into the port. Do not try to force it in as you
may bend the pins on the keyboard’s cable head
Other Peripheral Devices
In order for the system to detect the presence of a newly installed serial mouse or PS/2 mouse you
must reboot the notebook.
Mouse (PS/2) Connection
1. Locate the port on the back of your Port Replicator.
2. Gently push the 6-pin connector into the port. Do not try to force it in as you
may bend the pins on the mouse’s cable head
The Audio-In Connection
The procedure for connecting an audio-out, audio-in and external Mic to the Minidock are
essentially the same.
The only difference is when connecting speakers to the audio-out port to first disconnect your
speakers from their power source before connecting the device to the Minidock. This will save
your speakers from being damaged by any sudden electrical discharges created from the
connection.
______________________________ Note ______________________________
If your notebook is not equipped with audio capabilities, your system will not be able to
utilize the Port Replicator’s Audio-out and External Mic features.
