OVERVIEW
Expandable Design
System supports extensive expansion capabilities with two full-length PCI/ISA slots, two half height drive bays, two CardBus slots, and upgradable
Ethernet. In addition, MultiBay design allows for true system customization with hard drives, CD-ROM drive, or diskette drives. MultiBay devices are
easily installed and removed, and are interchangeable between expansion base and notebook. Note: The CardBus slots have full support in Windows
9.x.
Hot Docking/Undocking
Motorized hot docking and undocking with Plug and Play in Windows 95 saves time and deters data loss.
PCI/ISA Expansion
Two full-length slots are provided, supporting industry-standard 16-bit ISA and 32-bit PCI boards.
Storage
Two half height drive bays support industry-standard devices such as CD-ROM Drives, SuperDisk LS-120 Drive, tape drives or other industry-standard,
half height devices.
One half height bay is converted into a MultiBay with the Armada 7000 Half Height MultiBay Adapter. The other half height bay may also be converted to
a MultiBay. With both half height drive bays converted to MultiBays, up to 56 GB of storage is possible between the notebook and the expansion base
(using four hard drives). Note: For Hard Drives, GB = Billion Bytes
Network Interface
Includes integrated 10 Mb/s Ethernet controller for easy network connection (RJ-45); upgradable to
100 Mb/s with the optional 100 BaseTX Ethernet Upgrade; same network drivers as used in other Compaq products
Modem Pass-through
Integrated modem is passed through the back of the expansion base via an RJ-11 port, allowing instant access to the notebook-integrated modem, and
there are no cables to deal with.
Robust Security
The ArmadaStation II is packed with comprehensive hardware security features. Once docked, the notebook and every component can be locked down
to the expansion base with a simple turn of a key. None of the notebook modules-hard drive, memory, battery, or Multibay devices can be removed. In
addition, the half height bays, PCI/ISA slots and the PC Card slots are also secured. To further enhance security, steel U-bolt is installed in the back of
the Expansion Base, so that the entire system can be locked down to a workstation with a cable or chain. A cable lock provision is also included.
PC Card Slots
Two Type II/One Type III PC Card Slot(s) which support both 32-bit CardBus (Note: Full support in Windows 9.x) and 16-bit PC Cards
Innovative Tower Stand Option
Industry-first tower stand option for the ArmadaStation II provides space savings by allowing operation of the expansion base and notebook in vertical
position on the floor. Motorized docking and all functionality are supported in this position.
