Using Plug-In Modules
You can use any compatible plug-in module with your computer’s module bay, such as:
• CD-ROM or DVD drive.
• LS-120 or Zip drive.
• CD read/write drive.
• Second hard drive.
• Floppy disk drive.
You can also attach the floppy disk drive to your computer’s parallel port using the
external floppy drive cable.
• Secondary battery.
CAUTION
Never remove a plug-in module without first notifying Windows—see “To replace
a plug-in module” on page 53. Otherwise, you could lose data.
To install hot-swap support
If your computer uses Windows ME, 95 or 98, it also includes “hot-swap” software that
lets you swap most modules in the computer’s plug-in bay without needing to shut down
and reboot the computer.
If a plug-in module icon or BayManager icon is displayed in the taskbar, hot-swap
support is already installed. If the icon is not present, you can install the software as
follows:
• Windows ME: Click Start, Programs, Softex BayManager, Setup, then follow the
onscreen instructions.
• Windows 95 or 98: Click Start, Programs, Agaté Tioman for HP, Setup, then follow
the onscreen instructions.
