Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
A user experiences difficulty in enabling or using IDE devices either in the Ultrabay of the Thinkpad or in the IDE bay of a SelectaDock Docking Station. Resource assignment problems may also be a symptom of incorrect IDE settings, as IDE resource usage is dependent on how the IDE channels are configured.

Configuration:
