If you have an NEC Versa with a Plug and Play operating system such
as Windows 95, you can either put your system into Suspend mode,
leave it in full Operation mode for docking, or you can choose to power
off.

If you have a non-Plug and Play operating system such as Windows NT
4.0, turn off the system power before docking.
Make sure your system is in the appropriate mode for
docking.
