ThinkPad Port Replicator II

2006-09-23T21:49:03Z

Dlb: /* DVI pass-through */

== IBM ThinkPad Port Replicator II ==
The [[ThinkPad Port Replicator II|Port Replicator II]] (Model # 74P6733) is the cheapest dock IBM sells. It contains basic pass-through connections for notebook ports, including power pass-through. It comes without integrated power supply but provides the same power jack as found in a ThinkPad, so you need to use either your Thinkpad AC adapter or another IBM AC adapter. Besides all the pass-through ports the Port Replicator II comes with an On/Off switch and a slot for a cable lock which secures the device and prevents the Thinkpad from being removed.

===Features===
* Passthrough ports:
** Ethernet (RJ45)
** Modem (RJ11)
** USB (1-port)
** DVI
** [[VGA Port|VGA]]
** [[Serial Port|Serial (DB9-M)]]
** [[Parallel Port|Parallel (DB25-F)]]
** [[PS/2 Port|PS/2 Keyboard]]
** [[PS/2 Port|PS/2 Mouse]]
** [[Floppy Connector|External Diskette drive]]
** Audio line-in and line-out
* Kensington Lock connector
* Power button

===Pros & Cons===
* Positives: Inexpensive ($149 Retail)
* Negatives: Requires AC adapter, only one USB port
* Compatibility: X20/30, T20/30/40, R30/40/50, and A20/30 series (Does not support X40/41, R40e/50e/51e, or G40/41)
* Warranty: One Year

==DVI pass-through==
LCD monitors are getting larger and higher-resolution. Currently, DVI based on 165MHz TDMS transmitters can only (officially) support 1600x1200x32 at 60Hz, which is the resolution of your average 20" non-widescreen LCD. IBM's driver support for this resolution through DVI ports on docks has been inconsistent. Also in Linux you might experience [[Problem with DVI throughput|problems]] even with this resolution and IBM officially states that the pass-through DVI port only supports resolutions up to 1280x1024. Read [[Problem with DVI throughput|our page]] of information on how to solve these troubles.

Please be aware that not all Thinkpad models will support DVI output with a Port Replicator. This is stated as "If your ThinkPad computer does not support DVI, you cannot use this connector." in User's guide. Apparently, X and T2* models do not. [http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-58833#vid ThinkPad R52] and [http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-58317#vid ThinkPad T43] models with Intel Graphics Media Accelerator do not. Please add other models if you know about them to not support DVI.
