Connecting External Components
You can connect external components—such as a printer, mouse, monitor, or keyboard—
directly to your computer or to the optional port replicator (on models equipped with a
docking connector).
To identify the ports
The diagrams below shows the connectors for external devices on the computer and
optional port replicator.
Before you connect any device, check its documentation to see if you need to make any
settings or adjustments to the equipment before using it. This might include setting
switches so the equipment will operate properly with your computer and the software
you plan to use.
