Introduction to Connectivity Peripherals
Cradle Module1
The cradle module is a central component in the following connectivity peripherals:
• port replicator
• high-usage cradle
• high-connectivity cradle
• wall-mount cradle
The cradle module holds the pen tablet when it is inserted in these connectivity peripherals. Two types of
cradle modules are available, a locking version (cradle module FMW26CR8), and a non-locking version
(cradle module FMW26CR28). The non-locking version is not equipped with the tubular lock and cradle
latches that are present on the locking version. The locking version of the cradle module is used to
assemble locking versions of connectivity peripherals while the non-locking version of the cradle module
is used to assemble the non-locking connectivity peripherals.
Cradle
Module
Assembly and installation instructions given in this manual generally refer to the locking version of the
cradle module; however, these instructions also apply to the non-locking version (with the exception of
instructions regarding locking and latching the pen tablet into the cradle module).
The Portable Port Expander 1
The portable port expander is best suited for mobile computing tasks where a quick and temporary
connection to peripheral computer equipment is needed and the pen tablet alone does not provide the
necessary connectivity.
The portable port expander is shipped from the factory fully assembled and ready for use. The portable
port expander is equipped with a mechanical latch and spacer that help secure the portable port expander
to the pen tablet. Before using the portable port expander, confirm that the latch and spacer are installed
on the portable port expander. See “Portable Port Expander” on page 2-1 for details.

Replicator
The port replicator is best suited for use on a desk top and is designed for use with the FMWDS3 folding
desk stand. The port replicator replicates ports that are built into the pen tablet and adds connectivity that
is not built in. Typically, the port replicator is connected to peripheral computer equipment and the pen
tablet can then be inserted in the port replicator when the peripheral equipment is needed.
High - U sa ge C radle1
The high-usage cradle is designed for applications where the pen tablet is inserted into and removed
from the cradle frequently. The high-usage cradle is equipped with special “high-usage” connector pins
that are designed to withstand a high number of pen tablet insertion and removal operations. This cradle
is best suited for desk-top or counter-top installations where the cradle remains stationary. Locking
versions are equipped with a tubular lock which allows you to lock the pen tablet into the cradle. The
high-usage cradle assembly includes the cradle module and the cradle base. An AC adapter must also be
installed in the cradle base if the cradle is to provide power to the system. (An AC adapter is shipped
with each pen tablet and can also be purchased separately.)

This chapter describes the assembly and installation of connectivity peripherals.
P ortable Port Expander 2
The portable port expander can be used alone with the pen tablet or it can be installed in the cradle
module as a component in other connectivity peripheral assemblies.
The portable port expander is equipped with a latch mechanism and spacer to allow it to be attached
directly to the pen tablet. For details on attaching the portable port expander to the pen tablet and
connecting peripheral devices, refer to the Connectivity Peripherals User’s Guide.
Removing the Latch and Spacer (For Installation in Cradle Module Only) 2
The portable port expander is shipped with two extra screws that are used if the portable port expander
is installed in the cradle module as a component in another connectivity peripheral assembly. If you plan
to install the portable port expander in the cradle module, you must first remove the latch and spacer. To
do so, remove the screws (called out in Figure 2-1) that fasten the latch and spacer to the portable port
expander. (Save the latch, spacer, and screws in case they are needed later.) Once the latch is removed,
the portable port expander can be installed in the cradle module.

Installing the High-Connectivity Cradle2
To install the high-connectivity cradle,
1.Determine the appropriate desktop location. Account for:
• Distance to an AC outlet.
• Distance from desk edge to allow for easy access and positioning of a keyboard and mouse pad.
• Desk or table legs so it is easy to sit in front of and use the system.
• Routing the AC adapter power cord over the back edge of the desk, a notch in the desktop, or
through a hole drilled in the desktop. Ensure that the wire will not get entangled in the user ’s feet
or in the feet of those who walk by the desk.
2.Turn the cradle upside-down.
3.Attach the keyboard, mouse, and floppy disk drive cables, if used, and other peripheral devices that
will be used with the cradle to the corresponding ports on the bottom of the cradle module. Note that
you can route these cables through the following paths:
• Through the cutouts provided in the front and sides of the cradle base called out in Figure 2-11.
• Out the back of the cradle base via the channel in the middle.
4.Turn the high-usage cradle upside-up and place it at the desired location. (Be sure the cables are still
routed properly and are not pinched under the cradle base.)
5.Check for free play of the cradle module by adjusting the viewing angle. To do so, loosen the
adjusting knob and rock the cradle module forward and backward. After you verify that the wires
do not bind or restrict use of the cradle, tighten the knob.
6.Ensure that the high-usage cradle is in the desired location.
7.As an optional step, you can secure the cradle at the work site using the following methods:
• Secure the cradle using a Kensington lock. The cradle base provides a Kensington Security
Standard slot, called out in Figure 2-10, which is designed for use with Kensington locking
devices such as the Kensington MicroSaver security system. Contact a Kensington dealer to
obtain an appropriate security product.
• Fasten the cradle to the desktop by installing 1/4” screws in the mounting holes in the cradle
base. The location of the mounting holes in the cradle base are shown in Figure 2-9. (Obtain
screws of an appropriate type for your installation.)
8.Attach the power cord to the AC adapter and plug the other end into the AC outlet.
The high-connectivity cradle is ready to use. To confirm that external power is being supplied to the pen
tablet by the AC adapter, see “Confirming External Power Is Supplied” at the end of this chapter.
Peripheral connectors on the high-connectivity cradle are described in Table 2-4. Figure 2-11 shows the
location of these connectors on the high-connectivity cradle. Note that the ability of the pen tablet to

Installing the Wall-Mount Cradle
2-19
To prepare the installation site for the wall-mount cradle,
1.Determine the appropriate location for the wall-mount cradle. Account for the following factors
when selecting the location:
• The wall-mount cradle protrudes from the wall about 3.5 inches with the keyboard tray in the
closed position and about 10 inches with the keyboard tray in the open position. Ensure that the
location you choose is compliant with local building codes and does not obstruct other activities
in the work area.
• The wall-mount cradle mounting plate is designed to attach to a standard 2-wide electrical
junction box. Electrical AC power must be supplied to the wall-mount cradle via the junction box.
Consider the accessibility, routing, and electrical and building code requirements for AC wiring
in the building.
2.Install the standard 2-wide electrical junction box in the desired location and route AC supply wire
to the junction box. A metal junction box must be used and it must be grounded in accordance with
electrical and building codes.
Warning
Shut off power before working on a circui t. Use approved
materials and conform to all electrical codes .
Use the mounting plate template provided with the wall-mount cradle to determine the appropriate
height and location of the junction box. The template indicates the location of mounting holes and
the cut-out for the junction box in the mounting plate. Ensure that the height of the junction box
allows the user to easily see the pen tablet display screen and access the keyboard. (The template
indicates the center of the pen tablet screen when the pen tablet is in the cradle.)
