Using Plug-In Modules

You can use any compatible plug-in module with your computer's module bay, such as:

• CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, or similar drive.

• Zip drive.

• Second hard drive.

• Floppy disk drive.

• Secondary battery (only on certain models).

Never remove a plug-in module without first notifying Windows—see "To replace

a plug-in module" on page 39. Otherwise, you could lose data.

For information about connecting your modem or LAN (depending on the model), or

about connecting PC Cards or external devices, see the online Reference Guide. See the

same online manual for modem AT commands.

If your computer uses Windows 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 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:

• Click Start, Programs, Softex BayManager, Setup, then follow the onscreen

instructions.
