Exploring Your Computer’s Features
Using an expansion device
5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
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 your computer’s pointing device. 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.
For more information, see the accessories information 
package that comes with the device or visit 
Using an Optional Advanced Port Replicator III Plus with 
your computer
If you purchase an optional Advanced Port Replicator III Plus 
(APR III Plus) (not shipped with your system), you can 
connect this device to your computer's expansion port. In 
order to achieve a proper connection, the APR III Plus must 
be properly aligned with your computer. The correct position 
is indicated by symbols (
) on both your computer and the 
APR III Plus. To properly connect the APR III Plus to your 
computer, see the Advanced Port Replicator III Plus User’s 
Guide or visit
