3-2 Setting Up and Using the Software
Your NEC Versa, the option, and the operating system in use must all sup-
port Plug and Play for automatic configuration. If you install a non-Plug and
Play option, you must configure it according to its conventions.
NON-PLUG AND PLAY SYSTEMS
NEC Versa models running Windows for Workgroups do not support Plug
and Play options because of software restrictions. To use options in a
docking station with non-Plug and Play systems or options, you must
configure the option according to the NEC Versa and option requirements.
(See your NEC Versa user’s guide and the option guide.)
Setting up the software to use your NEC Docking Station 6000 is easy to
do. The setup utility loads the docking station SCSI drivers and installs the
online user’s guide on your NEC Versa hard drive.
RUNNING THE SETUP UTILITY
The first time you use the Docking Station 6000, you must set up the soft-
ware in the NEC Versa to recognize the Docking Station 6000 and make full
use of its features.
Setting up the software as described here creates a configuration called
“Docking Station 6000” that your NEC Versa can use when it is connected
to the Docking Station 6000. When the NEC Versa is not docked, you can
specify the original NEC Versa configuration, called “Mobile.”
You must perform software setup on each hard disk that you
plan to use with the Docking Station 6000.
Run the Docking Station 6000 Software Setup utility as follows.
1.
Make sure the CD-ROM reader is installed in the NEC Versa.
2.
Follow the instructions in Chapter 2 and dock your NEC Versa on the
Docking Station 6000 and power on. (This step is optional, however,
docking your system first is recommended.)
In Windows for Workgroups systems, boot into Windows, if Windows is
not already opened. (Type
win
and press
Enter
to open Windows.)
