Using Plug-In Modules
You can use any compatible plug-in module with your computer's module bay, such as:
• CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, or similar drive.
• Zip drive.
• Second hard drive.
• Floppy disk drive.
• Secondary battery.
Never remove a plug-in module without first notifying Windows—see "To replace
a plug-in module" on page 72. Otherwise, you could lose data.

To replace a plug-in module

When a drive module is present, Windows 2000 displays the Unplug or Eject Hardware
icon—and Windows XP displays the Safely Remove Hardware icon—at the right end of
the taskbar.
Before disconnecting a CD-ROM drive, DVD drive, or any other type of drive, you
must either use the icon in the taskbar or shut down the computer—otherwise, you
could lose data.
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.
