Using a docking station

When you hear a beep, turn the security key to the rear
again. Now you can eject your computer from the
docking station.
To see if the eject operation is complete, click Start
again and see if the Eject PC icon still appears. If the
icon still appears, wait until it disappears.
If the eject request does not disappear

station or port replicator problems” on page 143.
If the operating system rejects the eject request, a
message appears on the screen. If this happens, try
cold undocking.
Presetting a device to avoid a resource conflict
After you install devices in the docking station, the Windows 98 or
Windows 95 plug-and-play function enables you to use the devices
immediately after you power on your system. If you cannot use
them, a system resource conflict might have occurred. Do the
following to resolve the conflict:
For a PCI adapter or an internal SCSI device:
1
Start the ThinkPad Configuration program and click the
Docking Station (
) button.
2
Assign at least one IRQ value. The default setting is
IRQ 9.
