Port Replicator Power Overload



Port Replicator Power Overload

If intermittent power shut-downs occur while using two or more PCMCIA devices with a port replicator, suspect an over-current problem. Some PCMCIA devices use more than the recommended maximum power. If the maximum usage for each device occurs simultaneously, the total current can exceed the replicator power limit, thereby causing a power shut down. Isolate this problem by removing one of the devices and using the computer under the same condition to see whether a power shut down occurs. Do this procedure for all devices, then determine the cause.
