Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for a multi-functional security mechanism in a docking station is disclosed. A docking station includes a hook to secure a portable computer to the docking station. A base plate includes a locked orientation and an unlocked orientation. A lever couples to the base plate to cause the base plate to actuate between the locked and unlocked orientation. A media bay, disposed in the docking station, receives a media device. A media bay lock pin couples to the media bay, engages the media device, and prevents removal of the media device from the media bay. A media bay lock couples to the base plate to release the media bay lock pin to engage the media device placed in the media bay. A media device sensor may associate with the media bay lock pin to permit the media bay lock pin to engage the media device.
