Making Connections Using Plug-In Modules Using Plug-In Modules CAUTION You can use any compatible plug-in module with the multimedia expansion base's module bays, such as: • CD-ROM or DVD drive. • LS-120 or Zip drive. • CD read/write drive. • Second hard drive. • Floppy disk drive. • Secondary battery. Never install or remove a plug-in module without first notifying Windows, or you could lose data. See "To replace a plug-in module" on page 63. To install hot-swap support If your computer uses Windows 98, it also includes the BayManager "hot-swap" software that lets you disconnect most modules from a plug-in bay in the expansion base without needing to shut down and reboot the computer. If a plug-in module icon is displayed in the taskbar, BayManager 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. To replace a plug-in module Windows 98 uses the BayManager "hot-swap" software to let you disconnect most plugin modules without shutting down the computer. Before replacing a hard drive module, however, you must first shut down the computer. Windows 2000 displays the Unplug or Eject Hardware icon at the right end of the taskbar when a drive module is present. Corporate Evaluator's Guide 63
