Lenovo 4337-10U docking station

[jdhurst]

I have a Lenovo 4337-10U docking station for use with a Windows 7 Pro Lenovo T420S Thinkpad.

Can I remove the laptop from the dock while the computer is running?  Or must I turn the laptop off first?

Thank you

you can hot dock and undock with the new Series 3 docking station.

Thank you. I appreciate that. I also read that it is a good idea to suspend before undocking (which makes sense anyway if you are going to carry the machine away).   Thanks again.

you don't have to suspend, just push the release button and pull off the laptop.

I think Matt Kohut did a blog about it, but i can't seem to find it.

I know suspending is not mandatory, but I want to encourage clients to stabilize their computers before moving them. In many cases, they are remove the computer to put in their pack to leave.  Thanks.
