DockMate V Quick Reference

Troubleshooting

Following are common questions and answers related to your use of 
DockMate V.

How do I know the computer is successfully docked into DockMate V?

There are two areas you can check:

•

Physical Lock.

  When the docked computer is on, the lock indica-

tor, found on the top of DockMate V, should be lit.

•

Logical Lock.

  The peripherals connected to DockMate V should 

function normally with the computer.  Press 

Fn-F2

 to access the 

Notebook Manager and look at the settings in the Information 
Viewer screen — the peripherals connected to DockMate V should 
register.

If a peripheral is not functioning normally, try to restart the computer 
while it is docked into DockMate V.

Why can’t I pull the dock release lever when the computer is docked?

When a docked computer is on, DockMate V “locks” the dock release 
lever to keep the computer securely docked to DockMate V.  The lock 
indicator lights up in this situation.  You can only undock the 
computer when the lock indicator is off.

Does my docked computer support Plug and Play?

Yes.  After connecting the computer to DockMate V, the system will 
detect add-on hardware and load drivers automatically under 
Windows 95.
