The IBM ThinkPad SelectaDock II	docking	station works with the IBM
ThinkPad SelectaDock Base Model I	to provide a complete docking
system for IBM ThinkPad 760E series computers.

	Important
1. The SelectaDock II docking station supports only PCI bus
	computers. It notdoessupport ISA bus computers, even
	though	the		SelectaDock	Base Model I			supports both		PCI	and
	ISA bus computers. If you try to dock an unsupported
	computer		to	the SelectaDock system, you will be alerted by the
	Attention		indicator and		a	series	of	beeps. If you try to hotor
	warm-dock an unsupported computer to the SelectaDock
	system,		the	system will shut down automatically.
2. Make		sure		that you	are	using	the	latest system		ROM	version
	in the ThinkPad system. See “Setting Up Your ThinkPad
	System”		on	page 14.

undocking . You dock or undock your computer				to the		SelectaDock
system.

By installing the SelectaDock system, you greatly increase the expandability of your computer.

The	SelectaDock		system's	easy-to-use design also enables you to
dock	or	undock	while the computer is powered on (hot docking and
undocking)		with	operating	system support.
