Port Replicator Checkout (TP 380XD, 385XD - 2635)
Port Replicator Checkout
Do the following procedures to isolate a port replicator problem.
A port replicator attaches to the system expansion connector
at the rear of the computer:
- Turn off the computer.
- Remove the failing devices from the replicator.
- Unplug the AC adapter from the replicator, if attached.
- Remove the port replicator from the computer.
- Reconnect the failing device directly to the computer.
(If another device occupies the connector, remove it first.)
- Go to 'Running the Diagnostics' and run the diagnostics.
- If the advanced diagnostic device test does not find an error,
suspect a problem with the port replicator
or the system expansion bus.
- Turn off the computer and reconnect the port replicator.
- Turn on the computer and run the following advanced diagnostic tests:
- Serial port test with the wrap plug installed on the replicator.
- Parallel port test with the wrap plug installed on the replicator.
- If diagnostic errors appear, replace the replicator or diskette
drive attachment unit.
If the problem remains after the replacement, replace the
system board.
- If power problems appear only when the replicator is used, replace the
replicator.
