Connecting the computer to the docking station
You may connect your computer to the docking station as long as it is not in a power saving mode, i.e., Standby or
Hibernate. Connecting the computer while it is in a power saving mode may result in data loss or a computer malfunction.
Note the following before connecting your computer to the docking station:
 Disconnect the VGA, USB, AC, and Ethernet devices from your computer. Leaving these devices connected while you
connect the docking station could damage them.
 Ensure that the battery is installed. If you install a charged battery, you can connect the docking station while the
computer is on.
To connect your computer to the docking station
1. Plug one end of the AC adapter cable into the DC In port of the docking station and the other end into an AC
outlet. The LED of the DC In port switches on.
2. Holding the computer with the front side facing you, insert the two holes on the front of the computer into the
two corresponding latches protruding from the front side of the docking station.
