2-4 Docking/Undocking the NEC Versa
CAUTION
Disconnecting the power cable, turning off power, or experiencing a
power outage while running the docking station and NEC Versa can
result in a system crash. If this occurs, see the instructions in
“Emergency Undocking” later in this chapter.
Once you connect the power cable to the docking station, keep it plugged in
and the power turned on. That way, the docking station is always ready for
the docking procedure.
Preparing the NEC Versa for Docking
Follow the procedure given next to prepare the NEC Versa for docking.
1.
Set NEC Versa power for your system as follows.
n
If you have a Plug and Play NEC Versa, you can either put your sys-
tem into Suspend mode or leave power on for docking.
For example, the NEC Versa 6000 with Windows 95 running is a
Plug and Play system.
n
If you have a non-Plug and Play system, turn off system power before
docking. Systems running Windows for Workgroups do not support
plug and play.
Make sure your system is in Suspend mode or powered off as
appropriate before docking. If the NEC Versa is in Active mode or
power is on during docking, the docking station ejects the computer.
2.
If you are running the NEC Versa on AC power, disconnect the AC
adapter cable from the NEC Versa.
Before disconnecting power, save any open files or close
open applications to avoid data loss.
