4. Important : the CD-ROM drive must be on when the cable connects the drive

and the computer in order for the computer to register the presence of the CD-
ROM drive. After the CD-ROM drive is turned on and connected to the SCSI
cable, connect the 80-pin end of the cable to the OmniBook’s docking/SCSI
connector.

The new connection at the docking/SCSI connector causes a “docking event”

on the OmniBook. Your response depends on your operating system:

For Windows 95, the computer automatically detects the new configuration
with the CD-ROM drive. The first time you connect the CD-ROM drive, the
OmniBook will take several minutes to set up this new SCSI configuration. It
will name this configuration “Dock1” or “Dock2”.

For Windows for Workgroups, exit Windows and press

CTRL+ALT+DEL

to

restart your OmniBook and set up the CD-ROM drive for access—you may
be prompted to do this.

5. For Windows 95, remove the SCSI device from the Undocked configuration as

follows. If you do not do this, the OmniBook might stop responding (lock up)
when the CD-ROM drive is removed (undocked).

Right-click My Computer, select Properties, and click the Device Manager tab.

Double-click
