Troubleshooting the Docking Station

I cannot operate the optical drive in the docking station when
the docking station is connected to the computer and the
computer is connected to another computer via an i.LINK
connection.

To set the i.LINK® network switch

1

Disconnect your computer from the docking station.

2

Disconnect the AC adapter and all cables from your docking station.

3

Set the i.LINK®

*

network switch on the bottom of the docking station to the

unmarked side with a thin pen tip.

4

Connect the docking station to the computer.

5

Turn on your computer.

An error message appears while disconnecting the docking
station, even after following the correct procedure.

Close the software in use, and disconnect other devices. Try to disconnect the
docking station from the computer.

I cannot remove the disc.

You cannot remove the disc when the computer is in a power saving mode.
Return to normal mode, and press the Eject button.

* i.LINK is a trademark of Sony used only to designate that a product contains an IEEE 1394

connection. The i.LINK connection may vary, depending on the software applications, oper-
ating system, and compatible i.LINK devices. All products with an i.LINK connection may
not communicate with each other. Refer to the documentation that came with your compati-
ble i.LINK device for information on operating conditions and proper connection. Before
connecting compatible i.LINK PC peripherals to your system, such as CD-RW or hard disk
drive, confirm their operating system compatibility and required operating conditions.

Do not set the i.LINK® network switch when the computer is on. This causes the
computer to malfunction.

Set the i.LINK network switch after removing all cables connected to the docking
station.
