System Information Guide

This document contains getting started, safety, regulatory, and warranty information about your Dell Latitude C/Dock II Expansion Station as well as information about other Dell documents that are available and how to obtain them.

Other Documents Available

• Documentation updates, which are sometimes included with your docking device to describe changes to your docking device or software. Always read these updates before consulting any other documentation because the updates often contain the latest information.

• Documentation included with any options you purchase separately from your docking device. This documentation includes information that you need to configure and install these options in your docking device.

Getting Help

Dell provides a number of tools to help you if your docking device does not perform as expected. For information on these help tools, see the “Getting Help” section in the computer’s User’s Guide.

Docking Device Overview

NOTE: Alert your network administrator before you connect the docking

device to a network.

You must attach an AC adapter to the docking device before you dock the computer to the docking device and turn on the computer. The AC adapter powers the docking device and the computer at the same time. Any battery installed in the computer charges while you use the docking device.

System Information Guide 3

NOTICE: Always use the Dell PA-6 AC adapter that came with the docking

device. If you use any other commercially available AC adapter—or the AC adapter from older models of Dell computers—you may damage the docking device or the computer.

Before Docking the Computer

If your computer is running the Microsoft® Windows® 9x, Windows NT®, or Windows Millennium (Me) operating system, you must first check your computer for existing docking drivers. If your computer does not have the docking drivers, install them before you dock the computer for the first time. To install the docking drivers, perform the steps in “Installing the Docking Drivers.”

• Press the undock request button on the docking control base (see the figure “Docking Control Base Controls and Indicators”). Wait for the green docking light to turn off.

Replacing the Battery

Your docking device uses a lithium ion battery. The lithium ion cell battery is a long-life battery, and it is very possible that you will never need to replace it. However, should you need to replace it, perform the following steps.

CAUTION: There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is

incorrectly installed. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Undock the computer as described in “Undocking the Computer.”

2 Turn off the power switch on the docking device and disconnect the

AC adapter.

3 Remove the top cover by pressing the two side buttons and rotating

the cover toward the back of the expansion station (see “Removing the Top Cover”). Once the cover is vertical, disengage the hinge tabs, and fully remove the cover.

b Gently rock the card side to side into the connector until it is fully

seated.

10 Reseat the screw in the PCI card bracket to secure the PCI card.

11 Replace the top cover by first engaging the hinge tabs and gently

lowering the front of the top cover into place. The top cover will be properly aligned when you hear the side buttons click into place.

disconnected in step 5.

13 Dock your computer.

14 Replace the monitor stand on the docking device and the monitor on

the monitor stand.

15 Turn on the computer.

16 Install the drivers for the PCI card.

If a 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter network card came with the docking device, Dell included a CD containing drivers and installation instructions.

NOTE: If you are installing network drivers for a 16/4 Token-Ring PCI

Adapter network card, connect the computer to the network before you install the drivers. Alert your network administrator before you connect the docking device to a network.

If you are using a PCI card that was not purchased from Dell, use the drivers and instructions provided by the manufacturer of the card.

NOTE: The 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter network card that Dell installed has

been tested for use with the C/Dock II Expansion Station. Although you can install other PCI expansion cards, Dell does not guarantee their functionality.

Using the C/Dock II Media Bay

You may use any media device from your computer, such as a floppy drive or CD drive, in the C/Dock II Expansion Station media bay.

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the docking device or the media device, do not

install any device in the docking device media bay that you do not normally use in your computer.

NOTICE: To avoid damaging the docking device, do not install the travel

module or battery from the Dell Latitude computer in the docking device media bay.

To install the computer's media device in the docking device media bay, perform the following steps.

NOTE: The eject/locking lever must be in the unlocked position before you

install a media bay device.

Save all files, close and exit all application programs, and exit the

operating system.

2 Turn off the computer.

3 Remove any media device in the docking device media bay.

Press the media-bay eject button (see “Installing a Media Device in the Media Bay”). After the device slides partially out of the media bay, gently remove it the rest of the way.

Windows NT with Softex Docking services allows hot-swapping of devices from the media bay. For more information, see "Docking With Windows NT and Softex Docking Services" and the Softex Docking Services User's Guide at http://support.dell.com.

Securing the C/Dock Expansion Station

Security Features

The docking device has the following security features:

• An eject/locking lever that allows you to secure and eject your computer. The back position secures the computer to the C/Dock II Expansion Station. The middle position allows you to use the docking device without securing it. The front position ejects the computer from the docking device. Push the eject/locking lever to the back position to use the padlock security lock and the security lock slot.

• A spring-loaded latch on the front of the base that fits into a security slot on the bottom of the computer secures the computer to the docking control base. Not all Dell portable computers have the security slot.

• A secured top cover that blocks access to Peripheral Card Interconnect (PCI) Card removal.

• A secured media-bay eject button that blocks removal of media bay devices.

• An immobilized catch latch to deter unauthorized computer removal.

System Information Guide 25

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

Securing the C/Dock II Expansion Station

Use one of the following methods to secure the docking device:

• Use a padlock alone or a padlock and looped security cable with the padlock slot (see the figure “Docking Control Base Controls and Indicators”) on the docking device.

A padlock alone blocks the eject lever and makes it difficult to detach the computer from the docking device.

A security cable looped around a stationary object and used in conjunction with the padlock can help prevent the unauthorized movement of the computer and the C/Dock II Expansion Station.

• Attach a commercially available antitheft device to the security lock slot (see the figure “Docking Control Base Controls and Indicators”) on the docking device.

Antitheft devices usually include a segment of metal-stranded cable with an attached locking device and associated key. Dell recommends that you use a Kensington lock. For instructions on installing this kind of antitheft device, see the documentation that accompanied the device.

Dell Diagnostics

The Dell Diagnostics that came with your Dell Latitude computer includes tests that help you troubleshoot the controllers in your docking device.

The subtests in the Network Interface test group of the Dell Diagnostics verify the basic operation of the network controller in the docking device. They test the controller's internal functions, including read and write access to its registers and internal transmit and receive (loopback) capability.

The subtests in the Serial/Infrared Ports test group check the docking device's interface with external devices (such as a serial mouse or a printer). The subtests in this test group are not intended as a diagnostic test for the external device itself.

The subtests in the USB test group check the docking device's interface with external devices (such as a mouse). The subtests in this test group are not intended as a diagnostic test for the external device itself.

For complete instructions on using the Dell Diagnostics, see your computer's User's Guide.
