To change a setting, type the number that appears in front of the option and press Enter. Specify a new setting from the options displayed. 4. When done, select 4 to quit and use your DOS-based application. Option Configuration Follow the instructions that come with your option to configure devices installed in the Docking Station 4000. If your NEC Versa BIOS, its operating system, and the option are all Plug and Play-compliant, you should be able to install the option, reboot your system, and use the option. Check the documentation that came with the optional device, to determine whether or not the option requires special drivers. If it does, load the drivers according to the instructions that come with the option. Configure non-Plug and Play options according to the instructions that came with the options and those in the NEC Versa user's guide. If you install non-Plug and Play devices in a Plug and Play system, you must still configure the option according to its requirements. For some options, like a second IDE drive or diskette drive installed in the docking station, you must run the Setup utility or the Automatic Configuration Utility (ACU) to set the correct parameters. Some systems automatically detect the new device and its parameters. Check that the settings reflect the options installed in the docking station. Drivers If your NEC Versa is running Windows 95 or MS-DOS Version 6. 0 or above, your system supports multiple configurations. See the next section for driver information. 3-14 Setting Up and Using the Software If your NEC Versa is running a DOS version that is earlier than Version 6. 0, your system supports only one configuration at a time. See the section "Single Configuration Systems" for information about saving and using separate configuration files. Multiple Configuration Systems Windows 95 supports multiple configurations for your NEC Versa. Versions of MS-DOS above revision 6. 0 also support multiple configurations. After running the NEC Docking Station 4000 Setup utility, simply reboot your system when docked or undocked and select the configuration to use from the start-up menu. Single Configuration Systems Although earlier DOS versions cannot support multiple configuration files, you can work round the situation. Doing so requires that you create two separate sets of system files with different names. Each set of system files contains different configuration information for your system to use.
