may be a fixed optical drive. If you have an optical drive
installed, see the instructions contained in “Using the
optional optical drive” on page 8.

bottom of the LifeBook to connect the two electronically.
Suspend/Resume Button
The power on/suspend/resume button allows you to
suspend/resume your system via the port replicator.
Latch Release with Security Lock Slot
The latch release is used to release the system from the port
replicator. The security lock slot allows you to secure the
port replicator with an optional security lock/cable. When
the system is installed in the port replicator, the slot secures
both.

Air Vents
Air vents are used to cool the system to prevent overheating
To protect your notebook and/or port replicator
from damage and to optimize performance, be
sure to keep all air all vents unobstructed,
clean, and clear of debris. This may require
periodic cleaning, depending upon the
environment in which the system is used.
Do not operate the notebook in areas where the
air vents can be obstructed, such as in tight
enclosures or on soft surfaces like a bed.
ATTACHING THE PORT REPLICATOR
The port replicator can be attached to your notebook while
the power is on, while in suspend mode, or while the power
is off.
The AC adapter must be plugged into the port
replicator in order to use all of the ports. If the
adapter is connected to the system, several of
the port replicator ports will not be usable.
1. Unplug the AC adapter from the system if it is connected
and any other connectors that are attached to the back
of the system.
