Undocking the Compaq LTE Elite
When using the Compaq preinstalled Windows operating environment, the
Compaq LTE Elite can be undocked from the Compaq SmartStation with the
system on or off. Although Standby cannot be initiated while the computer 
						

							is docked, pressing the eject button with the system on initiates Standby
briefly so that files remain open after undocking.
IMPORTANT: When using a non-Windows operating environment, the system must
be turned off before undocking the computer. When the system is
off, there is still AC power available to the docking mechanism,
as long as the power cord is connected to an electrical outlet.
To undock the computer from the expansion base, complete the following
steps:
1. Remove any cable or card that does not allow the PCMCIA door to close
fully. The PCMCIA card sensor prevents the computer from undocking if a
card or cable keeps the spring-loaded PCMCIA door open.
2. Unlock the expansion base keylock.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CAUTION >>>>>
						

							A Compaq LTE Lite computer must have a SmartStation Adapter (Figure D-5)
connected to it before it can dock in the Compaq SmartStation. This
SmartStation Adapter is available as an option (Table 8-10).
NOTE: Early model Compaq LTE Personal Computers (not Compaq LTE Lite
models) such as the Compaq LTE 386s/20 cannot dock in the Compaq
SmartStation.
The following features are not available when using the Compaq LTE Lite:
o Sensor protection that prevents undocking the computer when a cable or
option extends beyond the enhanced option slot.
o Ability to dock when the computer is on or in Standby and to undock when
the computer is on.
o Software shutdown that turns off power and undocks the computer from the
expansion base.
o Use of the C/D drive selection switch to boot from an IDE hard drive in
the expansion base.
o AC power conservation for an external monitor and an optional IDE hard 
						

							drive in the expansion base.
o Use of the Compaq SmartStation expansion base battery charger.
Connecting the SmartStation Adapter
To connect the SmartStation Adapter to the Compaq LTE Lite, complete the
following steps:
1. Slide open the external options door (Figure D-2).
2. Connect the adapter to the back of the computer so that the thumbwheel
faces outward.
3. To secure the adapter to the computer, tighten the thumbwheel until you
feel a slight resistance (Figure D-6).
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CAUTION >>>>>
						

							NOTE: If you insert the SmartStation Adapter without the computer, the
adapter will be ejected from the expansion base.
IMPORTANT: The SmartStation Adapter has a programmable array logic (PAL)
enable/disable switch located above the external options
connector (Figure D-7). The switch is accessible from the
outside of the SmartStation Adapter with a pencil or small
screwdriver. The switch has two positions: enabled [1] and
disabled [2] The switch comes from the factory in the disabled
position. Functional problems may occur if the switch is left
in the disabled position when completing bus mastering activity
with certain early models of Compaq LTE Lites in the Compaq
SmartStation.
Using Diskettes Included with the SmartStation Adapter
Four diskettes included with the SmartStation Adapter are used for the
following tasks:
o Diagnostics diskette - Use to run Computer Setup, Computer Checkup
(TEST), Power Management, and Security Management. (Do not use internal
Setup or the diagnostics diskette included with the computer.) 
						

							o Network Drivers diskette - Use to install network drivers.
o SCSI Drivers diskette - Use to install SCSI drivers (Section F.6).
o Supplemental Programs diskette - Use to copy the updated EXTDISK.SYS file
to the hard drive (Section C.4). EXTDISK.SYS is the only file you need on
this diskette.
Docking the Compaq LTE Lite
To dock the Compaq LTE Lite in the Compaq SmartStation, complete the
following steps:
1. Connect the expansion base to an electrical outlet.
2. Turn off and disconnect any external devices that are connected to the
computer.
3. Remove any cable or option that extends beyond the enhanced option
slot.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CAUTION >>>>>
						

							9. Turn on external devices that are connected to the expansion base.
10. Be sure that the A/B drive selection switch is correctly set on the
expansion base (Section C.3).
NOTE: The C/D drive selection switch on the expansion base has no
effect when a Compaq LTE Lite is docked.
11. Turn the system on with the power button on the expansion base. (The
power switch on the Compaq LTE Lite is inoperable while docked in the
expansion base.)
NOTE: The first time you dock the Compaq LTE Lite or when you install
new devices, the system detects a configuration change and may
prompt you to run Computer Setup.
Use the Diagnostics diskette included with the SmartStation Adapter to
run Computer Setup, Computer Checkup (TEST), Power Management, and
Security Management. Do not use internal Setup or the Diagnostics
diskette included with the computer. Refer to Section 6.7 for more
information on running Computer Setup.
IMPORTANT: Do not undock the computer before reading Undocking the Compaq
LTE Lite.
