DOCKING STATION DIAGNOSTICS

The 120w Power Supply board has built-in power indicator LED’s that can 
help you determine if the docking station is functioning properly. To access 
the required area of the board, remove the access panel, located on left side 
of the dock. The indicators are color coded and indicate if specific functions 
are either receiving input power or producing output power.

Example:
If the +12vDC ignition circuit is not connected or the ignition fuse is blown 
the Orange LED will not be illuminated.  By simply observing the state of the 
LED you can quickly determine if the docking station is receiving voltage or 
not. 

LED INDICATOR COLOR CODES:

INPUT POWER  

LED COLOR

  

REF

+12vDC (un-switched power, or A+)   

RED  

 

D1

+12vDC (switched, or ignition power)  

ORANGE   D7

OUTPUT POWER
+15.7vDC (laptop charging circuit)    GREEN  

 

D6

+5vDC (USB, Ethernet power circuit)  

YELLOW  D2

All four LED’s should be illuminated when the docking station is powered 
up. If you don’t see all four LED’s there is a situation that is preventing the 
docking station from functioning properly. Please use the chart below to 
determine the cause and effect of the described situations:

1. Laptop computer won’t charge. Check to see if the GREEN LED is illuminated. 

If it’s not, check Output Fuse.

2. Docking station turns on for a brief moment, then shuts down. Check to 

see if the ORANGE LED is illuminated. If it’s not, check the Ignition Fuse 
and check to be certain 12v is present at this circuit. 

(This condition may 

vary depending on the settings of your shutdown timer. The docking station 
will power up and then start the shutdown timer. Docking station will remain 
powered up for the pre-set time then shut down if the Ignition Fuse is blown.)

3. Docking station will not power up at all. Check to see if the RED LED is 

illuminated. If it’s not, check Main Power Fuse and check to be certain that 
12v is present at the circuit. 

Laptop must be docked.

4. Ethernet will not function. Check to see of the YELLOW LED is illuminated. 

If the LED is illuminated and the Ethernet will not work, you may need to 
install the Ethernet driver into your computer. 

Drivers are available on the 

Kodiak web site. CF30 MK2 and CF31 notebooks should not require a driver 
install, but Getac B300 and CF30 MK1 and older computers will require the 
driver install.
