Remove the docking station connector cover from the bottom of the computer.

!

You may find it difficult to remove the docking station connector cover, as it is tight in place on your computer. Do not exert extra pressure when 
removing the cover so as not to damage the computer or the docking station connector cover.

✍

Once you have removed the docking station connector cover, keep it in the designated space (1) on the docking station.
