Operating External Devices
To ensure that devices connected to the expansion base are activated, follow the
guidelines below.
■ When adding a device to or removing a device from the expansion unit,
turn off power to the computer, expansion unit, and applicable devices
before connecting or disconnecting the computer.
■ When the computer is connected to the mobile expansion unit, be sure all
attached devices are turned on, then turn on power to the computer.
Drive Devices
The mobile expansion unit supports a second hard drive, CD-ROM drive,
DVD-ROM drive, LS-120 drive, or extra battery pack in the MultiBay on the
front right side of the unit. In addition, it supports a diskette drive in the
Diskette Drive Bay on the front left side of the unit.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic
components. Before touching a MultiBay device or diskette drive,
ensure that you are discharged of static electricity by touching a
grounded metal object.
IMPORTANT: If you are using Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows
NT 4.0 preinstalled by Compaq, you do not need to turn off the computer
before removing a diskette drive, CD-ROM drive, DVD-ROM drive, LS-120
drive, hard drive, or battery pack from the mobile expansion unit. If you
installed Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0 that you purchased
separately, you must obtain additional software from Compaq to support
removing these drives while the computer is on or in Suspend (Standby). For
more information about the software, refer to the Compaq Internet site at
