If any hard disk has a hard-disk password, it is unlocked auto-
matically when you resume operation.
If you use a hard-disk password with a hard disk in a docking station,
follow these procedures to ensure smooth docking and undocking.
Ÿ
If you dock your computer to the docking station while the com-
puter is running, make sure that it is in standby mode. (Press Fn
+ F4 to put it in standby.)
Ÿ
To resume operation, press the Fn key and type the passwords
as you are prompted.
Note:
If your computer is running, do not attach it to a docking
station without first putting it in standby mode. If you do, you
will be unable to access the password-protected hard disk in
the docking station.
