2 Using the Expansion Base Expansion Base Guidelines ■ Operating systems-For optimal performance, use the Expansion Base with HP or Compaq notebooks running Microsoft® Windows® XP or later. ■ Power-For optimal performance, use the Expansion Base while connected to electrical power. This allows the notebook battery to remain charged while the notebook is connected to the Expansion Base. ■ Connecting and Removing ❏ With Windows XP or later, the notebook can be powered on or off when connecting it to and removing it from the Expansion Base. The blue connection indicator light on the Expansion Base shows a successful connection and will not be turned on until the notebook is powered on. ❏ With Windows versions prior to XP: ◆ Turn off the notebook before connecting it to and removing it from the Expansion Base. ◆ When restoring power to the system, first connect the notebook to the Expansion Base, and then turn the notebook on. ■ External devices-When the notebook is connected to the Expansion Base, you may attach external devices to the connectors on the rear panel of the Expansion Base or to the connectors on the notebook.
