Caution
If you are inserting or removing a CD-ROM drive, floppy disk drive, or Zip
drive, shut down the OmniBook.
1. From the Start menu, shut down the OmniBook. (This is not necessary if you are
removing a battery from the plug-in module bay and inserting another battery).
2. Slide the safety latch for the module bay into its recess.
3. Slide and hold the release latch, then pull out the module, as shown.
4. Slide the new plug-in module into the OmniBook until it clicks into place.
5. Close the safety latch.
To install the floppy disk drive externally
When using the plug-in floppy disk drive externally, the plug-in module bay can be
used by another plug-in module—such as a CD-ROM drive, a Zip drive, or a
secondary battery.
•
Connect the external floppy disk drive cable (optional accessory, HP F1380A) to
the OmniBook parallel port.
Note
Only one floppy disk drive is supported on the OmniBook. You cannot use both an
external floppy disk drive and a plug-in floppy disk drive.
