How to Power Cycle Your Docking Station

“Did you power cycle your Docking Station?”

What does that even mean?

It’s just the cool techie way of saying “turn it off and back on again.”

If you look at the top of the docking station – the power button is on the opposite corner from the Think Pad logo. Press it to turn it off, then again to turn it back on. You just POWER CYCLED like Lance Armstrong!
