3 Plug-and-Play Functionality 3.1 System behaves slower just after docking or undocking Models: Issue: Cause: Resolution: All ThinkPad ACPI-supported models While hot docking and undocking your computer from the UltraBase and / or Enhanced Port Replicator, Windows 2000 reports docking event completion before actual physical docking or undocking can be performed. This is the expected behavior when the operating system completes either a docking or undocking event. The operating system has to "clean up" some internal processes that are occurring in the background. Use the LED indicators on the computer as well as operating system messages as a signal for when the docking or undocking event has actually completed. Also, listen for a "beep" sound signalling the completion of the docking or undocking event. 3.2 After upgrading from Windows 95 to Windows 2000, the "Unplug or Eject Hardware" icon does not appear in the desktop Taskbar even if a PC Card / CardBus device is present Models: Issue: Cause: Resolution All ThinkPad models After upgrading from Windows 95, the "Unplug or Eject Hardware" icon is not visible in the desktop Taskbar even when a PC Card / CardBus device is installed on the system.
