It is important to note that the primary purpose of the docking stations is to provide cable management, expandability, and battery charging. The docking stations are not designed to act as a security device for the notebook. However, to meet customer needs, Compaq designed additional theft deterrent features into the docking stations. For those users requiring a complete package for notebook security, details on Compaq's solutions are available at http://www.compaq.com/products/notebooks/security.shtml. 1 Doc # 151M-0501A-WWEN
