Abstract
Prior art quiet docking and undocking methods used an interface that was located within the notebook computer, thus adding to the complexity, weight, and power consumption of the notebook computer. The present invention provides for a method for quiet docking and undocking of a notebook computer using interface circuitry located within the docking station. Moreover, the method of the present invention provides for docking and undocking whether the notebook computer is in a powered-on or suspend mode. The notebook computer is docked and undocked to the docking station such that any transaction occurring on the system bus during the docking/undocking sequence is not affected.
