Using a keyboard with the Advanced Port 
Replicator
If you prefer to use a standard keyboard, you can attach one 
to a USB, PS/2 or serial port on the optional Advanced Port 
Replicator, provided the keyboard is USB- or PS/2-  
compatible.
Connecting a keyboard to the Advanced Port Replicator
To connect a USB or PS/2 keyboard to the optional Advanced 
Port Replicator, gently push the keyboard cable into the USB 
or PS/2 port.
If you connect a PS/2 keyboard to the computer while it is in 
Standby or Hibernation mode, you will not be able to use the 
keyboard when you turn on the computer.
Making your external keyboard emulate the Fn key 
An external keyboard does not have the 
Fn
 key provided by 
the computer’s built-in keyboard. You can use the 
Fn
 Key 
Emulation option in Toshiba Hardware Setup to assign an 
external keyboard key combination that will emulate the 
internal keyboard’s 
Fn
 key
.
In Toshiba Hardware Setup, you can emulate the
 Fn
 keys by 
setting key combinations in the keyboard option of the utility. 
See 
information.
The Fn emulation key is not supported when using a USB 
keyboard.
