This chapter also describes normal and emergency undocking when you want to use the NEC Versa by itself.

Connecting the Power Cable

Follow the instructions given next in the order presented to get your NEC Versa and NEC Versa Dock up and running.
Note:
Connect the AC power cable to the NEC Versa Dock and AC power before docking the computer.
The power cable that came with the NEC Versa Dock provides power to both the NEC Versa Dock and the NEC Versa when docked.
Note:
If you need to replace the NEC Versa Dock power cable, make sure it meets the following specifications:
! In North America, the cable should be rated for
120 V, 7 A. The plug is a NEMA 5-15P. Use an SVT or SJT 18/3 AWG cable that is less than 15 feet (4.5 m) long. Use connector type IEC320.
! In Europe, the cable should be rated for 230 V
(220-240 V), 10 A. The plug is country-specific. Use an H05VV-F or H05VVH2-F cable that is less than 15 feet (4.5 m) long. The connector type is EN60320.
2-2 Docking and Undocking
Connect the power cable as follows.
Note:
Ensure that the voltage selection switch (located on the back of the NEC Versa Dock) is set correctly for your environment. In the United States, most wall outlets require you to set the voltage selection switch to 115 volts. In many European countries, however, the voltage setting switch should be set to 230.
1.
Position the NEC Versa Dock on a flat surface close to an AC outlet.
2.
Attach one end of the cable to the AC power port on the NEC Versa Dock.
3.
Attach the other end to a properly grounded wall outlet.
Connecting the power cable
The NEC Versa Dock is now powered on.
Docking and Undocking 2-3
CAUTION
Disconnecting the power cable or experiencing a power outage while running the NEC Versa Doc k and NEC Versa can cause the system to suddenly power off, resulting in a possible loss of data.

Preparing the NEC Versa for Docking

Follow the procedure given below to prepare the NEC Versa for docking.
1.
Set the NEC Versa power for your system as follows.
If you have an NEC Versa with a Plug and Play operating system
!
such as Windows 95, you can either put your system into Suspend mode, leave it in full Operation mode for docking, or you can choose to power off.
If you have a non-Plug and Play operating system such as
!
Windows NT 4.0, turn off the system power before docking.
Note:
Make sure your system is in the appropriate mode for docking.
2.
If you are running the NEC Versa on AC power, save any open files, close open applications and disconnect the AC adapter cable from the NEC Versa.
Note:
Before disconnecting power, save any open files or close open applications to avoid data loss.
2-4 Docking and Undocking
3.
On the back of the NEC Versa, open the expansion port cover and slide it underneath the expansion port. Check that all other NEC Versa port covers are closed.

Docking the NEC Versa

You can dock the NEC Versa in one of the following modes (for use with dual boot systems, see “Dual Booting”):
Cold Docking — with NEC Versa system power off. This method
!
works for all NEC Versa models that support docking. Warm Docking — with NEC Versa power on, the system in Suspend
!
mode, and NEC Versa Dock power on. This procedure can be used with NEC Versa systems with Plug-and-Play operating systems, such as Windows 95.
2-6 Docking and Undocking
Hot Docking — with NEC Versa power on and the system in full
!
operation mode. This procedure can be used with NEC Versa systems with a Plug and Play operating system, such as Windows 95.
Use the following steps to dock your NEC Versa.
1.
Locate the height lever on the left side of the unit.
Locating the height lever
A
- Height lever position II B - Height lever position I
2.
Set the height lever on the side of the NEC Versa Dock to match your system as follows:
CAUTION
It is important that the height lever is set to the correct height for system docking. The NEC Versa Dock will not properly dock the NEC Versa if the height lever is set incorrectly, which may result in system damage to either the NEC Versa Dock or the NEC Versa. The Docking LED blinks amber if the height lever is set incorrec tly.
If you have an NEC Versa LX, set the lever to I by sliding the
!
lever to the front.
Docking and Undocking 2-7
If you have an NEC Versa SX, set the lever to II by sliding the
