Expanding the OmniBook

Using the External Module Bay

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.
