With an Ultrabay 2000, a PCI slot, and two PC Card slots, the ThinkPad Dock
or the ThinkPad Dock II enables your computer to emulate a powerful desktop
computer when you are in your office or home. For portability, your computer
can easily be detached.
When the computer is attached to the ThinkPad Dock or the ThinkPad Dock II,
never pick up the assembly by taking hold of the computer alone. Always hold
the whole assembly.
