Using an expansion device
The expansion port is used to connect your computer to an 
expansion device. This is an excellent investment if you are 
using your computer both in and out of the office.
When you return to your desk, you can then connect to your 
network, print reports from your computer, or use a mouse 
instead of the TouchPad. Connecting cables for each of these 
devices every time you return to the office is time-consuming 
and inconvenient.
With an expansion device, you can leave external devices 
connected while you are using your computer away from 
your desk. When you return, you can quickly connect your 
computer and have immediate access to all the devices.

Optional Slim Port Replicator 
The optional Slim Port Replicator enhances your mobility 
because it provides ports that enable you to connect to many 
expansion devices. The replicator provides more USB ports 
than the computer, enabling you to use more USB-compatible 
devices at the same time.
If you use the optional Slim Port Replicator, the only other 
computer port you can use at the same time is the modem 
port. This is because attaching the replicator makes every port 
except the modem port inaccessible.
Back of the optional Slim Port Replicator
The LAN port lets you connect the computer to a local area 
network using a 10/100 Ethernet link.
The RGB (monitor) port lets you connect an external 
monitor. For more information, see
