Your computer includes an eSATA/USB combo port, which can be 
used with both eSATA (external Serial Advanced Technology 
Attachment) devices and USB devices. The eSATA interface 
supports fast data transfer rates, which is especially useful for 
transferring and storing large files such as digital photo, music or 
video files. Like the USB interface, the eSATA interface supports 
hot swapping (connecting and disconnecting devices while the 
computer is on). eSATA devices require an external power source.

Your eSATA interface supports USB Sleep and Charge. For more 
information about USB Sleep and Charge, please see 

The expansion port, located on the bottom of your computer, is 
used to attach expansion devices such as a Port Replicator (not 
shipped with your system). A Port Replicator is an excellent 
investment if you are using your computer both in and out of the 
office. While you are using your computer away from your desk, 
you can leave network cables and external devices (such as printers, 
a mouse, speakers, and USB devices) connected to a Port 
Replicator on your desk. When you return to your desk, you can 
then quickly connect your computer to the Port Replicator and have 
immediate access to all of your network resources and external 
devices. This eliminates the time-consuming process of connecting 
each external device individually, and saves wear and tear on the 
ports and cables.

To achieve a proper connection between your computer and the Port 
Replicator, your computer must be properly aligned with the Port 
Replicator. For more information, consult the user’s manual that 
came with your Port Replicator, or visit
