is docked, pressing the eject button with the system on initiates Standby
briefly so that files remain open after undocking.
IMPORTANT: When using a non-Windows operating environment, the system must
be turned off before undocking the computer. When the system is
off, there is still AC power available to the docking mechanism,
as long as the power cord is connected to an electrical outlet.
To undock the computer from the expansion base, complete the following
steps:
1. Remove any cable or card that does not allow the PCMCIA door to close
fully. The PCMCIA card sensor prevents the computer from undocking if a
card or cable keeps the spring-loaded PCMCIA door open.
2. Unlock the expansion base keylock.

To avoid loss of data, turn off the computer before undocking if the hard
drive in the expansion base is set as logical drive C (the boot drive).

3. Undock from the expansion base in one of the following ways:
- Save and close open files, turn off the system by pressing the power
button on the computer or the expansion base, then press the eject
button.
- When using the Compaq preinstalled Windows operating environment,
press the eject button with the system on. Before undocking, you will
be prompted to save all files that were opened from a source other
than a drive in the computer.
- Select the Eject option on the Shutdown utility or enter:
SHUTDOWN/EJECT
at the DOS prompt. Save open files when prompted.
The docking mechanism disconnects the computer from the external options
connector and pushes the computer toward you.
NOTE: A beep indicates that the computer cannot be undocked. Verify that
you have completed steps 1 through 3 and try again. If the expansion
base still beeps, refer to Chapter 7 for troubleshooting information.
4. Slide the computer out of the expansion base. Do not lift the computer
up as you slide it out.
