Can anyone please point me to instructions on correct use of the
Ultrabase 3, specifically getting out of it? Lenovo's support site is
really completely nonfunctional (I hesitate to use the "s" word) and
no amount of googling has coughed up instructions.
I'd like to get actual instructions but my specific question is this.
There's a red light illuminated on the left side of the base. I know
from experience that if I just remove the computer I'll get error
messages. So I found the button next to the light and pressed it, the
light blinked a few times and then I got a message that it was safe to
undock.
Simple enough but now I wonder if anything(s) is disconnected, e.g.
the wired network connection or the USB devices plugged in to the
base. Is there some way to lock the unit back into the base (not
physically, it's attached)?
I'm almost done installing applications and moving data to the X220.
I hate to think what it would have been like if the "old computer" had
had more than 64GB of storage. Buying a new computer is fun but it
sure s-words your time!
Thanks!
I think you're just going to have to do some experimenting here,
to see what happens.
If the status light is red and then becomes green after pushing
a button, then I think it's safe to say that the dock is logically
disconnected from the thinkpad. I would think that everything
that you used that came from the dock is gone now.
So test them, and you'll see. Taking the laptop out and then
putting it back in should change the state of the dock to locked,
which I guess is red.
Just remember to suspend the thinkpad before physically
adding or removing the thinkpad, and I very much doubt that
you can hurt anything.
Let us know how it goes.
