Connecting the notebook to the docking station

You may connect your notebook to the docking station as long as it is not in
power saving mode, i.e., Standby or Hibernate. Connecting the notebook while it
is in power saving mode may result in data loss or a computer malfunction.
Note the following before connecting your notebook to the docking station:
Disconnect the VGA, USB, AC, and Ethernet devices from your notebook. Leaving
these devices connected while you connect the docking station could damage
them.
Ensure that the battery is installed. If you install a charged battery, you can
connect the docking station while the notebook is on.
Follow the procedure below to connect your notebook to the docking station:
1 Plug one end of the AC adapter cable into the DC In port of the docking
station and the other end into an AC outlet. The LED of the DC In port
switches on.
2 Holding the notebook with the front side facing you, insert the two holes on
the front of the notebook into the two corresponding latches protruding from
the front side of the docking station.
