Introduction
HP docking solutions include a range of convenient expansion solutions that easily connect to your HP Business Notebook and
enable connectivity to a range of peripherals. Create an ideal desktop computing environment using comfort-focused docking
stations and stands that provide port replication, cable management, and future expandability.
These docking stations feature the proprietary HP Docking Station Cable Lock, in addition to an industry standard notebook lock
slot. The HP Docking Station Cable Lock (AU656AA) gives you three locking options: lock the docking station only (which also
prevents access to the advanced docking station's drive bay); lock both the docking station and the notebook; or physically secure
the docking station to a stationary object using the security cable tab.
