Using Your Docking Bay

You can use the docking bay to:

•Store CDs, DVDs, or memory cards.

•Dock a peripheral device in the bay, such as a digital camera docking station.

•Install a special cover (optional) and an HP camera and HP camera docking station. (Both the camera and the docking station are sold separately.)
