Docking Capabilities Of Compaq Lte Elite With Compaq Smartstation - Compaq LTE Elite Maintenance And Service Manual

To dock the computer, the user inserts the computer into the expansion base
docking bay. Docking is completed by an automatic docking mechanism in the
expansion base. If a motor timeout occurs while docking, the motor reverses
direction and undocks the computer (not available in some early production
units).
If the computer does not undock automatically due to a power outage or
system malfunction, the computer can be manually ejected from the expansion
base, as described under "Using the Manual Eject Override" in this section.
If the expansion base does not dock or undock the computer automatically,
it may emit an audible beep or display an on screen error message (refer to
Chapter 7, "Compaq SmartStation Troubleshooting").
