Dell™ Latitude™ L400

Advanced Port Replicator

User’s Guide

The Dell Latitude L400 Advanced Port Replicator (APR) integrates your Dell Latitude

L400 computer quickly and easily into a desktop environment. Use the instructions in

this document to attach external devices to the APR and to connect your computer to

the APR.

Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your APR from potential damage

and to help ensure your own personal safety:

•Do not attempt to service the APR yourself. Always follow installation

instructions closely.

•Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and that the cable is

not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.

•Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor,

when powering the APR. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items

that will reduce cooling. Do not use the AC adapter inside a carrying case.

•Do not use your APR in a wet environment, for example, near a bathtub, sink, or

swimming pool or in a wet basement.

•Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your APR. Doing so can cause

fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.

•Use only the AC adapter that is approved for use with this APR as indicated in

this document. Use of another type of AC adapter may risk fire or explosion.

•Before you connect the APR to a power source, ensure that the voltage rating of

the AC adapter matches that of the available power source:

— 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far

Eastern countries such as South Korea and Taiwan

1-4 Dell Latitude L400 Advanced Port Replicator User’s Guide

—100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan

—230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East and the Far East

•To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and peripheral power cables

into properly grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with

three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or

remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable,

use a three-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.

•If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere

rating of the products plugged into the extension cable does not exceed the

ampere rating of the extension cable.

•To remove power from the APR, turn off the computer and disconnect the AC

adapter from the electrical outlet.

•If your computer includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) modem, the cable

used with the modem should be manufactured with a minimum wire size of 26

American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCC-compliant RJ-11 modular plug.

•Disconnect the modem cable during an electrical storm to avoid the remote risk

of electric shock from lightning via the telephone line.

•To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect

any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an

electrical storm.

•When setting up the APR for work, place it on a level surface.

•Protect your APR from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids,

temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.

•When you move your APR between environments with very different

temperature or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the

computer. To avoid damaging the APR, allow sufficient time for the moisture to

evaporate before using the computer.

NOTICE: When taking the APR from low-temperature conditions into a

warmer environment or from high-temperature conditions into a cooler

environment, allow the APR to acclimate to room temperature before

turning on power.

•When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not

on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid

bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both

connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

•HandletheAPRwithcare.

•Before you clean your APR, shut down the computer and disconnect it from the

APR. Then unplug the APR from its power source.

•Clean your APR with a soft cloth dampened with water rather than with liquid or

aerosol cleaners.

support.dell.com Dell Latitude L400 Advanced Port Replicator User’s Guide 1-5

•If your APR or computer gets wet or is damaged, follow the procedures

described in “Troubleshooting Your Computer,”in the User’sGuide. If, after

following these procedures, you confirm that your APR or computer is not

operating properly, contact Dell. (See “Getting Help,”in the User’s Guide for the

appropriate telephone number.)

Connecting External Devices to the APR

The input/output (I/O) connectors on the back of the APR duplicate the primary

connectors on the back and side of your computer. Table 1-1 shows the icons for each

of the connectors on the back of the APR and indicates the type of external device(s)

that can be attached to each connector.

Table 1-1. External Connectors

The AC adapter that came with the APR connects to the AC

adapter connector.

A serial device, such as a serial mouse, connects to the

serial connector.

A microphone connects to the microphone connector.

A speaker or headphones connect to the line-out connector.

A network interface cable connects to the NIC connector.

A USB device, such as a USB mouse, connects to the USB

connector.

An external phone line connects to the modem connector.

An external monitor connects to the monitor connector.

A parallel device, such as a printer, connects to the parallel

connector.

An external Personal System/2 (PS/2)-compatible mouse

connects to the PS/2 mouse connector.

An external PS/2-compatible keyboard or external numeric

keypad connects to the PS/2 keyboard connector.

An external CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, CD-RW, Zip 250, or

diskette drive connects to the external media bay connector.

1-6 Dell Latitude L400 Advanced Port Replicator User’s Guide

Use the following instructions to attach external devices to the APR.

NOTICE: The NIC and the two PS/2 connectors on the back of the APR are

inverted (as viewed while facing the back of the APR). Before attaching any

cables, verify that the connector pins are aligned correctly to avoid

damaging the connectors.

1. Refer to Figure 1-1 to attach external devices to the appropriate connectors on

the back of the APR.

NOTES: If the cable connector from the external device has thumbscrews, be

sure to tighten them to ensure a proper connection.

To connect the computer to a small computer system interface (SCSI) device,

you must attach a SCSI PC Card to your computer. See “PC Cards”in your online

Dell Latitude L400 User’s Guide for information about using PC Cards.

NOTICE: Do not plug a telephone line into the NIC connector.

For detailed information on using external devices with your computer, see

“Using External Devices”in your online User’sGuide.

Connecting the Computer to the APR

Use the following instructions to connect your computer to the APR.

1. Save all your work, and exit all application programs.

2. Shut down the computer.

3. If you have not already done so, connect the AC adapter to the connector on the

APR (see Figure 1-1), and plug the AC power cable into an AC power source.

4. Place the back of the computer over the APR platform, aligning the sides of the

computer between the platform wings (see Figure 1-2).

Figure 1-2. Positioning the Computer on the APR

5. Carefully lower the computer onto the APR platform, as shown in Figure 1-2,

until the APR and computer docking connectors engage.

When you feel or hear a click, the computer is latched to the APR and the

docking connectors are fully engaged.

NOTICE: If the external devices that are connected through the APR are not

functioning properly, make sure the computer and APR are properly

connected by pressing down firmly on the two corners of the computer

nearest the APR docking connector.

6. Turn on the computer.

Security Lock

The security lock prevents unauthorized removal of your APR. The security lock

swings out of the APR, as shown in Figure 1-4. An antitheft cable device is looped

around an immovable object, passed through the security lock on the APR, and then

locked to the security cable slot on the computer. For more information see the Dell

Latitude L400 User’s Guide.
