Route the cable safely, avoiding interference and extreme temperatures. Connect the power cable to the dock and the VM1A.

- Restart Computer: Press and hold the Power button until the options menu appears, then select Reboot and OK. For unresponsive displays, press and hold the Power button for approximately 8 seconds.
