Port Replicator Checkout

Use the following procedure to isolate a port replicator problem. A port replicator attaches to the system expansion connector at the bottom of the computer.
  1.  Power-off the computer.
  2.  Remove the failing devices from the replicator.
  3.  Unplug the AC adapter from the replicator, if attached.
  4.  Remove the port replicator from the computer.
  5.  Reconnect the failing device directly to the computer.  (If another device occupies the connector, remove it first.)
  6.  Go to 'Checkout Guide' and follow that procedure.
  7.  If the advanced diagnostic device test does not find an error,  suspect a problem with the port replicator  or the system expansion bus.
  8.  Power-off the computer and reconnect the port replicator.
  9.  Power-on the computer and run the following advanced diagnostic tests:

  10.  If diagnostic errors appear, replace the replicator or diskette  drive attachment unit.

     If the problem remains after the replacement, replace the  system board.

  11.  If power problems appear only when using the replicator, replace the  replicator.
