Designating Logical Drive C
When a Compaq LTE Elite is docked, the C/D drive selection switch sets an
optional IDE hard drive in the expansion base to operate as logical drive C
(the boot drive) or as logical drive D. The default position is D (the hard
drive in the expansion base is D).
NOTE: When a Compaq LTE Lite is docked in the Compaq SmartStation, an IDE
hard drive installed in the expansion base...

EXTDISK.SYS is located)
3. Reboot the computer by pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keys to integrate
the new information.
NOTE: The EXTDISK.SYS file on the Supplemental Programs diskette for MS-DOS
6 is the only file on that diskette that is needed for the Compaq LTE
Lite to work properly with the expansion base. The file is compatible
with MS-DOS 5.0 or higher as published by Compaq. 

Appendix D - Docking and Undocking 
 
Introduction 
This appendix covers procedures for docking and undocking (1) the Compaq
LTE Elite or the Compaq LTE Lite in the Compaq SmartStation, (2) the Compaq
LTE Elite in the Compaq LTE Lite Desktop Expansion Base with an upgrade
adapter, and (3) the Compaq LTE Elite in the Compaq MiniStation
(Figure D-1).
D.1 Docking In The Compaq Smartstation 
This section covers docking in the Compaq SmartStation and includes the
following:
o Docking and undocking the Compaq...

To dock the computer, the user inserts the computer into the expansion base
docking bay. Docking is completed by an automatic docking mechanism in the
expansion base. If a motor timeout occurs while docking, the motor reverses
direction and undocks the computer (not available in some early production
units).
If the computer does not undock automatically due to a power outage or
system malfunction, the computer can be manually ejected from the expansion
base, as described under Using the Manual Eject...

- The expansion base is locked with the key.
- The external options connector door is closed.
- A motor timeout occurs that is caused by physical interference
during docking, failure of the motor position sensor, etc.

7. Unlock the expansion base keylock (Figure D-3). 

8. Slide the computer forward in the docking bay until you feel the
computer being pulled from your hands (Figure D-4).
NOTE: If the expansion base beeps or if the docking mechanism pushes
the computer toward you, the computer cannot dock in the
expansion base. Verify that you have completed steps 1 through 8
and try again. If the computer still does not dock, refer to
Chapter 7 for troubleshooting information. 

9. Turn on external devices that are connected to the expansion base.
10. Be sure that A/B and C/D drive selection switches are correctly set
(Section C.3).
11. Turn the system on with the power switch on the computer or the power
switch on the expansion base.
NOTE: The first time you dock the Compaq LTE Elite in the expansion
base, you may be prompted to run Computer Setup to configure
optional devices. The computer automatically detects and
configures many optional devices. In some instances you are...
