520DS USB2 MINI NOTEBOOK DOCKING STATION

Note: it is possible that you will find a USB cable with one black and one red

connector in the box. The black connector is a normal USB connection. If
you use peripherals that require a lot of power via USB, then you can
connect the red connector up to a second USB connection on your
notebook. This then doubles the power provided for your USB peripherals.

Note: the red connector on any such cable is not a normal USB connection. This

cable provides extra power for your peripherals. However, this r ed connector
does not communicate with your peripherals. Use the black USB connector
for USB communications.

Note: when using a normal desktop computer, you should make the following

change in the BIOS: change the "halt on" or "error on" function to"all but
keyboard". This must be done, since you will otherwise get the following
message: "no ps/2 keyboard connected"
