Figure 6-14: Connecting the Notebook to the Minidock
1. Locate the Minidock’s 240-pin port found on the front left side of the
Minidock. Find the 240-pinned connector on the rear side of the notebook. It
is concealed by a plastic door. Slide the door to the left until it clicks into its
open position. (Figure 6-14, step 1)
2. Raise the long rectangular-shaped Release latch on the Minidock in the
direction of the arrow (Figure 6-14, step 2).
3. Notice that there is one rail on the left of the docking platform and one on the
right. These rails correspond with two grooves on the bottom side of the
notebook computer. Place the notebook on the Minidock’s docking platform,
aligning the rails with the grooves (Figure 6-14, step 3).
4. Gently slide the notebook along the rails on the docking platform until the
notebook’s 240-pinned connector makes form connection with the 240-pinned
port on the Replicator. Forcing a connection between the two can seriously
damage either or both the port and the connector. Realign the grooves to the
rails and try again.
