Computer and Docking Station
The computer may hot or cold dock / undock with the docking station, i.e. the computer may be powered on (hot
docking/undocking) or powered off (cold docking/undocking) when docking or undocking. However if you in-
tend to hot dock/undock the system then make sure that the
hot key driver, provided on the computer’s Device
Drivers & Uti User’s Manual disc, is installed .
Docked System Power
The system power for a docked unit should be provided only by the docking station’s AC/DC adapter plugged
in to the DC-In jack at the rear of the docking station (
make sure the computer’s AC/DC adapter is not used
at any time when the computer is docked ). Follow the instructions on the next pages to safely dock and undock
your computer with the docking station.

Hot Docking/Hot Undocking & Power Saving Modes
If the computer is in a power-saving state (Sleep or Hibernate), or is resuming from a power saving state, do not attempt to
hot dock or hot undock the system.
Moving the Docking Station
Note that if the notebook is docked with the docking station, do not attempt to move the docked unit in order to avoid losing
connection. If you wish to move the docking station, then make sure you undock the notebook from the docking station before
doing so.
