Using the External Module Bay

CAUTION
Expanding the OmniBook
Using the External Module Bay
You can use any compatible plug-in module with the OmniBook external module bay,
such as those listed below. The module bay does not support a battery module.
DVD drive module.
LS-120 SuperDisk drive module.
Floppy drive module.
You can also attach the floppy disk drive to the parallel port with the optional floppy
drive cable. You can then use the module bay for a different plug-in module.
24X CD-ROM drive module.
Do not unplug the external module bay or remove a plug-in module without first
notifying Windows—unless the module bay is empty. If you do not take proper
action, you could lose data.

To install hot-swap support

For Windows 95 or Windows 98, if a plug-in module icon is present in the taskbar, Agaté
Tioman "hot-swap" software is installed. If the icon is not present, you can install it using
the steps below.
The Agaté Tioman hot-swap software lets you disconnect most modules in the plug-in
bay without shutting down the computer and rebooting. (This software does not support
Windows NT.)
Click Start, Programs, Agaté Tioman for HP, Setup, then follow the onscreen
instructions.
