HP 230W Docking Station for EliteBook
The HP A7E34AA#ABA 230W Docking Station provides full port replication for compatible HP business notebooks and mobile workstations. It delivers desktop convenience in a space-saving black chassis while charging the connected notebook. Supported systems include EliteBook 8460p, 8470p, 8440p, 2170p, 2560p and mobile workstations 8460w, 8470w, 8560w plus the 6360t Mobile Thin Client.
Upgrade from basic port replicators
This dock replaces simpler replicators that lack power delivery or legacy I/O. The jump is worth it when you need simultaneous DVI-D, VGA and DisplayPort 1.2 video outputs alongside four USB 3.0 ports, serial, parallel, PS/2 and RJ-45 connections. It is not for users who only require a single modern video output and a few USB ports without notebook charging.
Simple mechanical docking
The notebook slides onto the connector for instant installation without software drivers. What usually goes wrong is forcing the alignment on worn docking rails or forgetting to seat the 230W power brick before connecting peripherals. The optional cable lock secures both dock and notebook, while the monitor stand port adds a display riser without extra desk hardware.

Questions about this item
What desk space does the 10.24" W x 6.44" D footprint need?
The dock measures 10.24 inches wide by 6.44 inches deep and stands 2.60 inches high, so allow that rectangle plus cable clearance at the rear.
How do I seat the EliteBook 8470p correctly on the docking connector?
Align the notebook's bottom docking port with the station's connector, press down firmly until it clicks, then verify the charging LED lights.
When should I replace the 230W power adapter?
Replace the adapter if the notebook stops charging while docked, the LED stays off, or the brick becomes unusually hot or noisy.
