• Do not use a password —if you have one on the OmniBook, turn it off before docking. (Refer to To use password protection. ) • You must reboot the computer whenever docking and undocking. • There will be no docking prompting messages (telling you when you’re docked and what to do, for example). • There will be no status panel on the computer screen. Docking Options Refer to the docking system's user's guide for complete information on setting up, docking, and undocking the OmniBook with a docking system. Whenever you dock to a docking system, Windows 95 automatically switches to a "docked" hardware profile. Each docking system automatically gets a different "docked" profile.
Each hardware profile defines the hardware that's available for use. (See Control Panel, Systems, and then click Properties.) • Select the resolution you want to use on the display connected to the docking system. If you select a higher resolution than the built-in (OmniBook) display, you should set the display mode to turn off the OmniBook display in the presence of an external display—see “To change the display settings” . • It is a good idea to require a password to undock the OmniBook from the docking system. To do so, see "To use password protection" . To use network cards with boot ROMs • You can use a boot ROM installed on an ISA network board to boot from a server.
Boot-ROM capability is not supported on PCI boards. To use the FN key with an external keyboard • Since most non-OmniBook keyboards don't have a FN key, you press CTRL+ALT to access FN. For instance, to access FN+F2, press CTRL+ALT+F2. • In order to use FN with an OmniBook hot-key sequence (such as FN+UP ARROW and FN+ESC), the option Enable External FN Key must be enabled (click Start, HP User Tools, Settings, then OmniBook External Devices). Adding Memory to the OmniBook The OmniBook memory-expansion slot accommodates one memory- expansion board. You can install a memory-expansion board to increase the total amount of memory.
(To find out your OmniBook memory size, see “To find the system software version and memory size” .) Hint 40
