About the ThinkPad Port Replicator, the Port Replicator
II, and the Mini Dock
After you attach your computer to the ThinkPad®Port Replicator, the
ThinkPad Port Replicator II, or the ThinkPad Mini Dock, you can use its
connectors in place of the computer’s.
When the computer is attached to the ThinkPad Port Replicator, the ThinkPad
Port Replicator II, or the ThinkPad Mini Dock, never pick up the assembly by
taking hold of the computer alone. Always hold the whole assembly.
