Information"

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B

digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installa-

tion. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if

not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interfer-

ence will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the

equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by

one or more of the following measures:

❑ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

❑ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

❑ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected.

❑ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

WARNING: Only peripherals complying with the FCC class B limits may

be attached to this equipment. Operation with non-compliant peripher-

als or peripherals not recommended by TOSHIBA is likely to result in

interference to radio and TV reception. Shielded cables must be used

between the external devices and the computer’s parallel port, external

monitor port, DVI port, PS/2 mouse port, PS/2 keyboard port, serial port,

i.LINK port and USB ports. Changes or modifications made to this

equipment, not expressly approved by TOSHIBA or parties authorized by

TOSHIBA could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

The LAN port (only 1000Base-T mode) is strictly for Business/Commer-

cial use and not for residential use. If LAN is operated in a residential

environment, it may cause harmful interference with TV and radio in

which case, the user bears full responsibility for taking corrective action

and any resultant related expense.

(USB 2.0) ports support USB 1.1. The number of the USB ports of DMI

information may differ from the number of actual USB

ports. For DMI information, a USB port may be dis-

played as two ports.

i.LINK (IEEE1394) Connect an external device, such as a digital video camera

port to this port for high-speed data transfer.

External monitor This 15-pin port lets you connect an external video

port monitor. Note that the Resume feature is effective with an

external monitor.

DVI port Connect a DVI monitor. It supports DVI-D type only.

Parallel port Use this Centronics®-compatible, 25-pin parallel port to

connect a parallel printer or other parallel device. It

replaces the computer’s parallel port.

Serial port Use this 9-pin port to connect serial devices such as an

external modem, serial mouse or serial printer. It replaces

the computer’s serial port.

Modem jack In areas where a modem is installed as standard equipment,

there is a modem jack that lets you use a modular cable to

connect the modem directly to a telephone line. The

modem is not supported in some marketing regions.

CAUTIONS: 1. In case of a electric storm, unplug the modem cable

from the telephone jack.

2. Do not connect the modem to a digital telephone line.

A digital line will damage the modem.

Computer lock It prevents disconnection of the computer from the Port

Replicator.

AC adaptor

The AC adaptor converts AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied

to the Port Replicator and computer. It can automatically adjust to any voltage from

100 to 240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to use the

computer in almost any country. It supplies five amperes of current.

operations.

CAUTION: The system supports warm docking and undocking. Do not

disconnect the Port Replicator from the computer while an application is

running.

Connecting the Port Replicator

NOTE: When the Port Replicator is connected to the computer, Do not

use the ports of the computer. In the case using ports both of the com-

puter and the Port Replicator simultaneously, it may harm the computer,

the Port Replicator and/or data contained in those.

To connect the Port Replicator, follow the steps below.

1. Check the distance from the back of the computer to the Port Replicator

connector. If necessary, slide the adjuster forward so that it will be flush

against the computer.The computer corresponding to the position of the

adjuster is as follows. Refer to http://www.toshiba.com about the model put
