2.6 Using HotSwap!
The Kanguru QSX comes 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 QSX. We recommend that you install HotSwap! on any computer that
you will be using with the QSX. HotSwap! is only compatible with Windows XP / 2003 / Vista.
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:
