Using Your Computer on Your Desktop
Using the Optional Desk Station V Plus
Your system will stop keeping track of the drivers and programs
associated with the devices connected to the Desk Station V Plus
when the computer is undocked. When you dock your computer
again your system will recognize all the devices it detected the last
time your computer was docked in the Desk Station V Plus.
Suspending the Computer and Desk Station V Plus
PC Cards that are designed for the APM (Advanced Power Man-
agement) standard allow the computer to go into a suspended state
when you turn the computer off with the Suspend command or
with Resume Mode turned on. Your system remembers the cur-
rent state of all your programs and returns them to that state when
you power your computer on.
The Desk Station V Plus can use devices that are not APM-com-
pliant. Suspending your system with one or more of these devices
installed may result in system halts or other erratic system
behavior.
If you have devices connected to the Desk Station V Plus, you can
save power and avoid the problems. By enabling the Power Sus-
pend option on the Power page of the Toshiba Power and Desk
Station Service Configuration property sheet you tell the system to
minimize its power use while maintaining continuous power
between the computer and the connected devices. It does this by
shutting down the display and hard disk while leaving the rest of
the system on.
To enable the Power Suspend option, follow these steps:
1 Click Start, then point to Settings.
2 Click Control Panel.
Windows 95 opens the Control Panel.
3 Double-click the Toshiba Services icon.
