Using the Power Switch
The power switch does not turn the expansion base on and
off. The expansion base is on whenever it is connected to
external power.
When a computer is docked, the power switch turns the
system (the computer, the expansion base, and all connected
external devices) on and off.
When no computer is docked, the power switch does
not function.
