Using the External Module Bay
You can use any compatible plug-in module with the OmniBook external module bay,
such as those listed below. The module bay does not support a battery module.
• DVD drive module.
• LS-120 SuperDisk drive module.
• Floppy drive module.
You can also attach the floppy disk drive to the parallel port with the optional floppy
drive cable. You can then use the module bay for a different plug-in module.
• 24X CD-ROM drive module.
CAUTION
Do not unplug the external module bay or remove a plug-in module without first
notifying Windows—unless the module bay is empty. If you do not take proper
action, you could lose data.
To install hot-swap support
For Windows 95 or Windows 98, if a plug-in module icon is present in the taskbar, Agaté
Tioman “hot-swap” software is installed. If the icon is not present, you can install it using
the steps below.
The Agaté Tioman hot-swap software lets you disconnect most modules in the plug-in
bay without shutting down the computer and rebooting. (This software does not support
Windows NT.)
• Click Start, Programs, Agaté Tioman for HP, Setup, then follow the onscreen
instructions.
