1-30 Getting to Know Your New Information Tool
Plug and Play technology is a recent development that
eliminates complicated setup procedures. With Plug and
Play, there are no system resource or interrupt conflicts
to resolve. Plug and Play automatically configures
your system.
The Versa P supports hot insertion and removal of
PCMCIA cards as well as warm insertion and removal of
devices attached to the Versa P’s external ports and devices
attached to the Versa P port replicator ports such as PS/2-
style keyboard, mouse, and monitors. Hot insertion means
that the system is on and in Active mode while cards are
added; warm insertion means the system is in Suspend mode
while devices are added.
NOTE: Many Plug and Play features require support
from the operating system as well as the hardware.
Batteries
There are three battery types that come with the Versa P:
■ Main battery
■ Bridge battery
■ CMOS battery.
Main Battery
The main battery is the removable nickel metal hydride
(NiMH) battery pack that comes with your Versa P. With it
you can run your system without AC power. The battery is
easy to insert and remove.
Once you insert the battery pack, you can leave it inside the
computer. You can install a second battery pack at the same
time; it replaces the standard diskette drive on your Versa.
