Software notes for E and X Series Lifebooks

iYou should install your notebook's software (operating system, device drivers) beforedocking your notebook the first time.

The operating systems Windows 98 and Windows 2000 automatically recognise the hardwareconfiguration of your notebook. As soon as you add new hardware to your system, Windowsattempts to detect the corresponding device type and install the suitable drivers.A software profile was created during configuration of your notebook. The hardware configuration ofthe notebook for the "Not docked" mode is saved in this profile.The operating system creates an additional hardware profile when your notebook is docked for thefirst time. The new hardware configuration of the notebook for the "Docked" mode is saved in thisprofile.

During start-up your notebook automatically detects the current mode ("Docked" or "Not docked")and selects the suitable profile.

iIf you connect external devices to the docking device, you may be asked by the system toinstall additional drivers.

Windows 98 (Full-Dock II)You must install a driver for IDE drives before you dock your notebook on the Full-Dock II the firsttime: Double-click on the Docking Setup icon on the desktop.

Windows 98 (LAN-Dock II / Port Replicator II-L)You do not require any additional software to work with your LAN-Dock II or your PortReplicator II-L.

Windows NT
