To set the docked configuration You can specify how the OmniBook responds when it connects to or disconnects from a docking system. Setting Up Docked and Undocked Profiles Setting Up Docked and Undocked Profiles Whenever you dock to a docking system, Windows 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. To connect new devices to your docking system, first turn off or undock your OmniBook, then connect the devices. When you turn on or dock your OmniBook, Windows automatically detects the new devices and sets them up.
If necessary, Windows requests information about the devices. To enable or disable a certain component in an existing profile, in System Properties use the Device Manager tab. 1. In Program Manager, double-click the OmniBook Tools icon (in the Main group). 2. Click Connections and Docking. 3.
