Figure 6-13: Docking the Notebook to the Port Replicator
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 6-13, step 1)
2. 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 6-13, step 2).
3. Gently slide the notebook along the rails on the docking platform until the
notebook is secured between the two docking tabs (Figure 6-14). Do not force
the connection. Forcing a connection can seriously damage either or both the
port and the connector. If you are unable to make a smooth connection, realign
the notebook and try again.
