How to Add a New Removable Media Drive

Generally, most modern bus types support hot-plugging. This means you can insert a disk in an empty slot and the system recognizes it.

For more information about hot-plugging devices, see Chapter 2, Dynamically Configuring Devices.

  1. Become an administrator.
  2. Connect the new media drive.

    See your hardware handbook for specific instructions.

  3. Confirm that the system sees the new media drive.
