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.
