Preparing the BIOS for the ExpressCard
Before installing the ExpressCard Docking station, it is very important
that you make sure that your system BIOS has the latest BIOS update
available. A number of system vendors have released updates that fix
many issues related to the ExpressCard Slot.

About the ExpressCard Connector Card
The ExpressCard dock comes with a cable, a spacer (see “Using the
Spacer Connector” for additional instructions) and 34mm card to
connect to an ExpressCard slot in your notebook. The cable is
removable from the card. The card can be left in your system when not
in use.
The 34mm card has a small switch located in the circular area in the
drawing below.
This switch is used to determine how the dock is recognized in the
system at boot up stage. Certain notebooks will detect the dock and not
work properly during a pre-boot mode (ie. trying to boot up on the
external VGA device, not the internal VGA of the Notebook). This was
observed in notebooks (Fujitsu, some Sony and Toshiba models) that
use a BIOS developed by Phoenix Technologies. If you experience
such issue, please turn the switch from the default "OFF" position to
"ON". You will only need to set it once.
When connecting the cable to the ExpressCard, Please make sure the cable tip is
properly and completely inserted into the cable port on the ExpressCard. Make
sure the tip is connected in the correct direction and do not force the connection
or it might break the device.

The spacer simply snaps on to the existing ExpressCard and is
inserted with the card connector into a 54mm ExpressCard slot.
A spacer is supplied to ensure the proper fitting of the 34mm ExpressCard into a 54mm slot. This spacer has no functionality other than to
prevent any movement of the card once it is inserted into the 54mm
slot. The spacer is not needed if you have a 34mm slot on your
notebook. (See the diagram below as to the two different slots that are
currently shipping in today's notebooks)
Using the Spacer Connector
Carefully align the spacer with the ExpressCard and join the two
pieces together by locking the clip in place.
Please make sure that the clip is firmly secured and no gap is in
between the two items. As shown in the diagrams above.

Before beginning make sure the spacer and PC card are aligned as
below.
1. When attaching the spacer, ensure the spacer is at a 45 degree
angle to the PC card. Please make sure the hook on the spacer is
sitting in the slot on the PC Card. Refer Fig 1.

2. Push down on the spacer as shown while applying firm pressure to
both the PC card and spacer.

Finally, make sure the two clips on the spacer are firmly and squarely
pushed into the slots on the PC card.

Troubleshooting
Device Not Working
• Make sure that the device is fully inserted into the correct port on the
docking station.
• Plug the device into a different port on the docking station. If it still
doesn’t work, test the device by connecting it directly to your
computer.
• Verify that you ran the Setup or Install program for the device.
• Make sure that the device appears in Device Manager. For more
information refer to “Verifying Devices are Installed”.
• Disconnect all devices from the docking station and reconnect them,
one at a time. Check that each device works before plugging in the
next one.
• Each USB port is equipped with over-current protection. Should a
USB device draw more current than the USB port can supply, the port
will shut down. To re-enable the port, unplug the device and go to
Device Manager or to the message in the system tray and choose the
Reset option. You can then plug the device back into the USB port. If
a shut down reoccurs, check the power requirements of the device.
Verifying Devices are Installed
You can view the devices installed on the docking station from the
Device Manager window in System Properties.
Right-click My Computer, Properties, then click the Hardware tab,
and then the Device Manager button.
Targus ExpressCard Notebook Docking Station with Digital Video and Audio
19
From the Device Manager window, expand the following:
• Display Adapters - Targus ExpressCard w/ video
• Human Interface Devices - displays keyboards and pointing devices:
mice, trackballs, and joysticks
• Network Adapters — Realtek RTL 8110SC Ethernet Adaptor
• Ports (COM & LPT) — Serial on USB [COM x]
• Sound, Video and Game Controllers — displays USB audio device
• Universal Serial Bus controllers — displays the other devices
installed for the docking station and generic hub
Verifying a Serial Modem Connection
When attaching a modem to the serial (RS232) port, verify that the port
assigned to your modem is Serial USB (COMx), where x is the number
of the COM port.
If the operating system does not detect automatically that your modem
is assigned to Serial USB (COMx), run the Hardware Wizard again and
choose Select from the list instead of Autodetect. Then, select Serial
USB (COMx) as the COM port.
Error Message on Your PDA
If the error message “Connection Not Established” appears on your
PDA, check that the COM port setting in either your HotSync or
ActiveSync software matches the setting on the docking station. See
“Verifying Devices are Installed” to verify the COM port setting on the
docking station.
Some older versions of the Palm® Desktop software are not compatible with the USB to Serial conversion. Please contact your PDA
vendor for software updates.

Video
Can I get a higher resolution on my monitor?
Movie playback is not smooth when played at 1600x1200x32 bit
resolution. It is worse when playing a media clip in full screen?
The Targus ExpressCard Docking station is not primarily designed for
playing back movie content at maximum resolution and color depth.
The best mode for displaying video content is at 1280x1024 (SXGA)
resolution or lower.
The reason for this is the large amount of display data being
transferred during movie playback. Standard DVD movies are encoded
at a resolution of 720x480 (NTSC), and 720x576 for PAL discs. Higher
resolution display of the video will result in upscaling the display to the
higher resolution, which does not gain any net affect on the playback of
the movie.
Unexpected Crashes or power state issues?
Please make sure you have upgraded your system BIOS on your
notebook. Several popular notebook vendors have released BIOS
upgrades that resolve a number of ExpressCard related issues
(Lenovo, Fujitsu).
• Highest resolution is 1600 x 1200, 32-bit color.
Ways to improve the smoothness of the movie playback are:
• Reduce the resolution of the display to 1280x1024 with lower color
depth (16 Bit Color)
• Terminate any other CPU intensive applications running on the
computer.
I cannot play a DVD using the Docking station?
DVD playback is controlled by the DVD playback software and the
hardware on your notebook. Many DVD playback software programs
are not capable of supporting DVD playback on an external or secondary monitor. If you encounter problems playing back videos in
Extended mode, try switching the Video mode on the Docking station
to Primary or Mirror mode.
Targus ExpressCard Notebook Docking Station with Digital Video and Audio
21
My system crashes during boot up with the Card connector
installed?
Can two separate displays be connected to the ExpressCard
Docking station (VGA and DVI-D) and display two separate
images or work to extend the display across three screens
(including the Notebooks screen)?
No. The output from the VGA port and the DVI port are the same.
Try switching the Pre-boot switch to the on position and boot again.
Audio
I cannot hear anything through my Notebook's Speakers.
Some Notebooks default to the ExpressCard Docking station's
onboard USB Audio device when the Docking station is connected,
disabling your notebook's built in speakers. To enable your Notebook's
speakers, do the following:
1. Open the Control Panel, and select "sounds and Audio Devices".
2. On the "Audio" Tab under the "Sound Playback" section, select
your Notebook's internal Audio device (will be a device other than
the USB Audio device of the Docking Station).
If you still cannot get the Audio device to Play from your speakers:
1. Open the Control Panel, and select "sounds and Audio Devices".
2. On the "Audio" Tab under the "Device Volume" section, click
"Advanced".
3. Uncheck the "Mute All" box
NOTE: YOU WILL NEED TO CLOSE ANY APPLICATIONS THAT ARE USING
AUDIO AND RESTART THEM IN ORDER TO ENABLE THIS CHANGE.
Targus ExpressCard Notebook Docking Station with Digital Video and Audio
My screen becomes blank (black) when I connect the ExpressCard to my computer.
Make sure the ExpressCard is properly connected and check the
display mode in the system tray so that the setting is correct.

Das BIOS für die ExpressCard vorbereiten
Bevor die ExpressCard Dockingstation installiert wird ist es wichtig zu
überprüfen, ob Ihr BIOS das neuste erhältliche BIOS-Update hat.
Zahlreiche Systemlieferanten haben Updates auf den Markt gebarcht,
die Lösungen für viele Probleme in Zusammenhang mit dem
ExpressCard-Slot bieten.

Die ExpressCard Steckkarte
Das ExpressCard Dock wird zusammen mit einem Kabel, Abstandhalter (siehe "Benutzen des Abstandhalter-Anschlusses" für zusätzliche
Information) und einer 34mm Karte für den Anschluss an die ExpressCard Schnittstelle Ihres Notebooks geliefert. Die Karte kann im System
bleiben wenn sie nicht verwendet wird.
Die 34mm Karte hat einen kleinen Schalter, der sich auf der runden
Fläche in der unteren Abbildung befindet.
Der Schalter dient zur Ermittlung, wie das Dock beim Booten vom
System identifiziert wird. Einige Notebooks identifizieren das Dock und
funktionieren nicht reibungslos im Vor-Start-Modus (z.B.Der Versuch
über das externe VGA-Gerät und nicht über das Interne VGA des
Notebooks zu booten). Dieser Schalter muss nur ein Mal eingestellt
werden und die meisten Notebooksmodelle werden reibungslos
funktionieren.
Dies wurde bei einigen Notebooks (Fujitsu, einigen Sony und Toshiba
Modellen) beobachtet, die die von Phoenix entwickelten BIOS
Technologien verwenden. Sollten Sie ähnliche Schwierigkeiten
erfahren, schalten Sie bitte von der Standardposition "OFF" auf die
Position "ON" um. Es wird nur ein Mal eingestellt.
Beim Verbinden der ExpressCard muss das Kabelende richtig und vollständig an
das Kabelport der ExpressCard angeschlossen werden. Achten Sie auf die
korrekte Richtung. Um Schäden am Gerät zu vermeiden, darf das Kabelende
nicht mit Gewalt angeschlossen werden.
