2.2.1.1 Using HotSwap!
The eFlash comes preloaded with a third party application HotSwap!. HotSwap! allows you to easily
add and remove eSATA devices with a few clicks of your mouse. HotSwap! is extremely useful when
using eSATA devices like the eFlash. We recommend that you install HotSwap! on any computer that
you will be using with the eFlash. HotSwap! is only compatible with Windows XP / 2003 / Vista /
7. A Windows 2000 compatible version of HotSwap! is available for download from the HotSwap!
website.
Note: HotSwap! is a 3rd party application and is NOT supported by Kanguru Solutions. You are
not required to use HotSwap!, but we do feel that you will find it very convenient when connecting
or disconnecting eSATA devices. For more information regarding HotSwap! or to find HotSwap!
support, please visit their website: http://mysite.verizon.net/kaakoon/hotswap/index_enu.htm
To install HotSwap!:
1. Connect the eFlash.
2. Open the eFlash device and then open the HotSwap! folder.
3. Copy the HotSwap!.exe application onto your desktop.
4. Double click on the HotSwap!.exe file to run HotSwap!.
You will see the HotSwap! icon appear in the taskbar. The icon will look similar to the Safely
Remove Hardware icon, except that the icon’s arrow is red instead of green.
Note: This will install and autostart HotSwap!. To uninstall or to turn off autostart, right click on the
HotSwap! icon in the taskbar. A pop up menu will appear. Click on Autostart to turn Autostart On/
Off. Click on Uninstall to uninstall HotSwap!.
