1.1 About the Dolby Integrated Media Server Docking Station
The Dolby Integrated Media Server (Dolby IMS) Docking Station is a hardware solution for quickly and
efficiently charging the battery in certain Dolby media blocks. The battery maintains the secure clock and
security identity of the media block. Spare, or unused units, should have their batteries charged at least
once every 6 months.

Supported devices (with rechargeable batteries) include the Dolby IMS1000, Dolby IMS2000, and Dolby
IMS3000.
Important:
Non-supported devices (that do not have a rechargeable battery) include the integrated media block
(IMB) (with Dolby ShowVault) and CAT745 IMB. Media blocks made by other manufacturers are not
supported.
Important:
Installing an unsupported device could potentially cause damage to the device or the Docking
Station and will not be covered under warranty.
After a Dolby IMS is connected and powered up, it may take up to 48 hours to complete a charge cycle. A
cutout in the sheet metal allows you to see the charging status LED on the Dolby IMS board.
