Working with the dock utility
The dock utility enables you to configure the display settings of the dock.
Note: The settings you have configured for the dock will be retained each time when you connect the
notebook computer to the dock. This feature enables you to use your notebook computer with multiple
docks. For example, if you use a notebook computer both at home and at work, you can set up both work
areas with docks. Then, you just connect your notebook computer to the dock at either location, and
you are ready to work.
