• When you move your APR between environments with very different temperature or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the computer. To avoid damaging the APR, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the computer. NOTICE: When taking the APR from low-temperature conditions into a warmer environment or from high-temperature conditions into a cooler environment, allow the APR to acclimate to room temperature before turning on power. • When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned. • Handle the APR with care. • Before you clean your APR, shut down the computer and disconnect it from the APR. Then unplug the APR from its power source. • Clean your APR with a soft cloth dampened with water rather than with liquid or aerosol cleaners. 1-4 Dell Latitude L400 Advanced Port Replicator User’s Guide • If your APR or computer gets wet or is damaged, follow the procedures described in “Troubleshooting Your Computer,” in the User’s Guide. If, after following these procedures, you confirm that your APR or computer is not operating properly, contact Dell. (See “Getting Help,” in the User’s Guide for the appropriate telephone number.) Connecting External Devices to the APR The input/output (I/O) connectors on the back of the APR duplicate the primary connectors on the back and side of your computer. Table 1-1 shows the icons for each of the connectors on the back of the APR and indicates the type of external device(s) that can be attached to each connector. Table 1-1. External Connectors The AC adapter that came with the APR connects to the AC adapter connector. A serial device, such as a serial mouse, connects to the serial connector. A microphone connects to the microphone connector. A speaker or headphones connect to the line-out connector. A network interface cable connects to the NIC connector. A USB device, such as a USB mouse, connects to the USB connector. An external phone line connects to the modem connector. An external monitor connects to the monitor connector. A parallel device, such as a printer, connects to the parallel connector. An external Personal System/2 (PS/2)-compatible mouse connects to the PS/2 mouse connector. An external PS/2-compatible keyboard or external numeric keypad connects to the PS/2 keyboard connector. An external CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, CD-RW, Zip 250, or diskette drive connects to the external media bay connector. support.dell.com Dell Latitude L400 Advanced Port Replicator User’s Guide 1-5 1-6 Dell Latitude L400 Advanced Port Replicator User’s Guide Use the following instructions to attach external devices to the APR. NOTICE: The NIC and the two PS/2 connectors on the back of the APR are inverted (as viewed while facing the back of the APR). Before attaching any cables, verify that the connector pins are aligned correctly to avoid damaging the connectors. 1. Refer to Figure 1-1 to attach external devices to the appropriate connectors on the back of the APR. NOTES: If the cable connector from the external device has thumbscrews, be sure to tighten them to ensure a proper connection. To connect the computer to a small computer system interface (SCSI) device, you must attach a SCSI PC Card to your computer. See “PC Cards” in your online Dell Latitude L400 User’s Guide for information about using PC Cards. NOTICE: Do not plug a telephone line into the NIC connector. For detailed information on using external devices with your computer, see “Using External Devices” in your online User’s Guide. Figure 1-1. Attaching External Devices to the APR 2.

Save all your work, and exit all application programs. 2. Shut down the computer. 3. If you have not already done so, connect the AC adapter to the connector on the APR (see Figure 1-1), and plug the AC power cable into an AC power source. 4. Place the back of the computer over the APR platform, aligning the sides of the computer between the platform wings (see Figure 1-2). Figure 1-2. Positioning the Computer on the APR 5. Carefully lower the computer onto the APR platform, as shown in Figure 1-2, until the APR and computer docking connectors engage. When you feel or hear a click, the computer is latched to the APR and the docking connectors are fully engaged. NOTICE: If the external devices that are...
