2 Using the docking station
Docking station guidelines
●Operating systems—For optimal performance, use the docking station with HP or Compaq computers running Microsoft® Windows® XP or later.
●Power—To use docking station features, AC power must be connected to the docking station. You do not have to connect power to the computer while it is docked.
●Computer docking and undocking—The computer can be docked to or undocked from the docking station, regardless of whether they are on or off. The good dock connection light on the expansion cable shows a successful docking connection and turns on only when the computer is turned on. The power status light on the docking station turns on when the docked computer is turned on.
●External devices—When the computer is docked, you may attach external devices to the ports on the rear and right panels of the docking station or to the ports on the computer.
NOTE: When the computer is docked, the external monitor port on the computer is disabled. Use the external monitor port on the docking station instead.
