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.

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 CF30 MK1 and older computers will require the driver install.
