Port Replicator
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook comes with a Port
Replicator. The Port Replicator extends the functionality
of your notebook by providing ports to connect PS/2
devices, a LAN (RJ-45) cable, a USB device, an external
monitor, a parallel device, a serial device, and an external
floppy disk drive. The Port Replicator connects to the
rear panel of your notebook. (See Device Ports on page 55
for more information)
