Preparing the BIOS for the ExpressCard

Before installing the ExpressCard Docking station, it is very important

that you make sure that your system BIOS has the latest BIOS update

available. A number of system vendors have released updates that fix

many issues related to the ExpressCard Slot.

About the ExpressCard Connector Card

The ExpressCard dock comes with a cable, a spacer (see “Using the

Spacer Connector” for additional instructions) and 34mm card to

connect to an ExpressCard slot in your notebook. The cable is

removable from the card. The card can be left in your system when not

in use.

The 34mm card has a small switch located in the circular area in the

drawing below.

This switch is used to determine how the dock is recognized in the

system at boot up stage. Certain notebooks will detect the dock and not

work properly during a pre-boot mode (ie. trying to boot up on the

external VGA device, not the internal VGA of the Notebook). This was

observed in notebooks (Fujitsu, some Sony and Toshiba models) that

use a BIOS developed by Phoenix Technologies. If you experience

such issue, please turn the switch from the default "OFF" position to

"ON". You will only need to set it once.

When connecting the cable to the ExpressCard, Please make sure the cable tip is

properly and completely inserted into the cable port on the ExpressCard. Make

sure the tip is connected in the correct direction and do not force the connection

or it might break the device.

The spacer simply snaps on to the existing ExpressCard and is

inserted with the card connector into a 54mm ExpressCard slot.

A spacer is supplied to ensure the proper fitting of the 34mm Express-

Card into a 54mm slot. This spacer has no functionality other than to

prevent any movement of the card once it is inserted into the 54mm

slot. The spacer is not needed if you have a 34mm slot on your

notebook. (See the diagram below as to the two different slots that are

currently shipping in today's notebooks)

Using the Spacer Connector

Carefully align the spacer with the ExpressCard and join the two

pieces together by locking the clip in place.

Please make sure that the clip is firmly secured and no gap is in

between the two items. As shown in the diagrams above.

Before beginning make sure the spacer and PC card are aligned as

below.

1.When attaching the spacer, ensure the spacer is at a 45 degree

angle to the PC card.Please make sure the hook on the spacer is

sitting in the slot on the PC Card.Refer Fig 1.

Fig.1

2.Push down on the spacer as shown while applying firm pressure to

both the PC card and spacer.

When removing the spacer, pull in an upwards motion to detach.

Finally, make sure the two clips on the spacer are firmly and squarely

pushed into the slots on the PC card.
