The Dock I provides expandability for your IBM ThinkPad notebook models (hereinafter referred to as the computer), while providing the same usability as a desktop computer system. Option cables connected or disconnected to your computer can be connected to the Dock I so you can easily carry your computer.

Because the Dock I is designed to be both multimedia-oriented and portable, for example, you can give presentations at a customer’s office more effectively with the full-motion images and stereo sound of multimedia material.

The Dock I has enhanced security features to protect it from being used by unauthorized persons.

The following summarizes the standard features or options on the Dock I.

7 Status Indicators The status indicators are LEDs (light-emitting diode) that indicate the

current status of the Dock I by their On/Off states. Each status indicator has a matching special symbol below it.

For more information about the status indicators, see “Dock I Status Indicators” on page 1-9.

8 Headphone Jack The headphone jack is where the plug of the stereo headphone is

connected.

Lever

When the release/lock lever protrudes from the Dock I, snapping it closed secures the computer by engaging the computer with the hooks 14 . Sliding the slide-knob 11 to the left snaps the release/lock lever open.

1 Security Lock The security lock is used to secure different features on the Dock I,

depending on the position of the key. This prevents the bottom cover of the Dock I from being removed, prevents unauthorized persons from using the Dock I by securing the power, and prevents the computer from being removed from the Dock I. (For more information, see “Using the Security Lock” on page 3-2.)
