5. The Docking Prompts box also shows you whether undocking requires a
password. The Password option prevents unauthorized removal of your
OmniBook. (You cannot set the password here. See
protection".)
6. Choose OK.

To prepare to dock or undock

If you are using SCSI devices (such as a CD ROM drive or a tape-backup
drive) or PCI and ISA boards (such as network cards), then you should:
1. Close all applications that use these devices.
2. Reboot the OmniBook after docking or undocking.
The computer will display messages reminding you of these steps (unless
you have disabled Docking Prompts, above).

To use network cards with boot ROMs

You can use a boot ROM installed on an ISA network board to boot from
a server. Boot-ROM capability is not supported on PCI boards.

To use the FN key with an external keyboard

Since most non-OmniBook keyboards don't have a FN key, you press
CTRL+ALT to access FN. For instance, to access FN+F2, press
CTRL+ALT+F2.
In order to use FN with an OmniBook hot-key sequence (such as
FN+UP ARROW and FN+ESC), the option Enable External FN Key
must be enabled (in the Main group, select OmniBook Tools, Input
Devices).

Adding Memory to the OmniBook

The OmniBook memory-expansion slot accommodates one memory-
expansion board. You can install a memory-expansion board to increase the
total amount of memory. (To find out your OmniBook memory size, see
find the system software version and memory
Hint
Print these instructions out so you can refer to them while doing this
procedure.
Caution
Take precautions against damage from static electricity:
Gather all the parts you need so you can complete the installation
in one sitting.
Don't remove the memory-expansion board from its packaging
until you've removed the slot cover from the OmniBook.
