CAUTION: Never undock the computer and
the C/Port APR without first preparing the
computer electrically. Any of the three follow­
ing methods prepares the operating system,
network, and storage devices for undocking by
completing data transfers. If the computer is
undocked before these transfers are com­
pleted, data will be lost and it could take
several minutes for the computer to recover
normal operation.
