To disconnect and reconnect the CD-ROM drive 1. If you are using Windows 95, click Start, Eject PC. (This removes the OmniBook from its "docked" configuration with the CD-ROM drive.) 2. Unplug the SCSI adapter cable from the OmniBook's docking/SCSI connector. This causes an "undocking event" on the OmniBook. If you're using Windows for Workgroups, you should then restart your computer: exit Windows and press CTRL+ALT+DEL, or follow the displayed "UNDOCKED" prompt and press ENTER to restart. 3. Turn off the CD-ROM drive. The "on" message disappears from the CD-ROM display. 4. When reconnecting the CD-ROM drive, make sure the drive is on before you connect the cable. If you are using Windows for Workgroups, you will need to restart the computer. (You may see a "DOCKED" message prompting this.) You can turn off the OmniBook and/or CD-ROM drive (such as to save power if you are using batteries) without affecting the "docking" configuration of the CD-ROM drive. If you are using Windows for Workgroups, you might see a "DOCKED" message when you turn the OmniBook back on, but you actually do not need to restart the computer (unless you have changed a peripheral connection). 1-11
