Warm-swappable Devices in
Multi-function Bay 1 and 2
Devices designed for use in Multi-function
Bays 1 and 2 of your LifeBook 900 Series note-
book computer are warm-swappable. Devices
in either Multi-function Bay can be installed
or removed while the system is in Suspend
mode. In order to facilitate the warm-swap
process, your notebook contains Tioman
warm-swap software from Agaté. The Tioman
software loads at system startup and displays
an icon in the Status area at the right of the
Windows 95 Taskbar.
This icon provides a visual cue for the currently
inserted device. You will immediately notice
whether a diskette drive,CD-ROM drive, hard
drive, or even no device is inserted in the bay.
Hover over the icon with the cursor to display
the tooltip balloon, containing information on
the inserted device. Right-click on the icon to
display the Tioman menu. This menu offers
additional functionality for swapping devices,
getting help, as well as information on the
Tioman software.
