Manual Undocking of the Computer
The motorized undocking mechanism requires electricity. If
power becomes unavailable to the desktop expansion base while
the computer is docked, you can release the computer from the
expansion base by using the manual release latch behind the rear
panel of the expansion base.
Before You Begin
To prepare the system for a manual release, follow these steps:
1. Remove the external monitor and monitor support cover,
if applicable.
2. Save all files and applications, then turn off the computer.
3. Unlock the expansion base keylock, if applicable.
NOTE:
For keylock information, refer to Chapter 5, “Securing
the System.”
4. Turn off all external devices connected to the expansion base.
5. Disconnect all cables and the power cord from the
expansion base.
