CAUTION
Making Connections
Using Plug-In Modules
Before disconnecting a CD-ROM drive, DVD drive, or any other type of drive, you
must either stop the drive using the icon in the taskbar or shut down the
computer—otherwise, you could lose data.
Exception: for Windows 98, you must shut down the computer before connecting
or disconnecting a hard disk drive.
Handle and store a module carefully when it's out of the computer. Do not drop it
or apply excessive pressure to its surfaces—this could damage its internal
mechanisms. Do not touch the metallic pins on the computer's connectors, module
connectors, or cable connectors. Static electricity can damage internal components.
1. Close all files that are open from the plug-in module.
2. Windows 98: If the BayManager icon is present in the taskbar, right-click the icon,
then click Remove/Swap Bay Device. When prompted, remove the module. (You
don't have to do this if the bay is empty or contains a battery.)
Windows 2000: Left-click the Unplug or Eject Hardware icon on the taskbar, and
select the module you want to remove. When prompted to remove the module, click
OK. (You don't have to do this if the bay is empty or contains a battery.)
–or–
For any system: Click Start, Shut Down, Shut down. For Windows 98, you must do
this if you are removing or inserting a hard disk drive in the module bay.
