Docking/Undocking
the NEC Versa

HARDWARE SETUP

 

Getting your NEC Docking Station 4000 up and running is
easy. This chapter provides the procedures you need to get
started. They include:

n

 

Connecting the power cable to AC power and the
docking station and powering on the docking station.

n

 

Preparing the NEC Versa and connecting it to the dock-
ing station.

n

 

Powering on the NEC Versa.

 

The first time you use the NEC Docking Sta-

tion 4000, you must set system parameters on the
NEC Versa hard disk. You must set docking station
parameters on every hard disk drive that you plan to
use with the docking station. These procedures are
described in Chapter 3.

 

This chapter also describes how to undock the NEC Versa
from the docking station when you want to use the notebook
by itself.
