Using a docking station
Depending on the hardware configuration or the
operating system, warm docking or hot docking might
not be supported. Refer to the user's guide shipped
with these docking stations or a port replicator for
instructions on how to dock your computer to a
docking station.
After you dock the SelectaDock I docking station with
the SelectaBase 600 port replicator, you might not be
able to read the status indicator or access the
UltraslimBay easily.
In the Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 3.1, or
DOS environment, you need to install the PC Card
support software
after docking your computer to the
docking station. If you have already installed the PC
Card support software, uninstall it and then reinstall it
after you dock your computer to the docking station.
Cold docking
You should dock with both your computer and your docking station
powered off in the following conditions:
If it is the first time you are docking your computer to the
docking station.
Or:
If you have changed the device configuration of your docking
station, such as when you have installed or removed a device.
Cold docking resets the docking station's device status
recorded on your computer. Thereafter, you can dock your
computer with the docking station at any time.
