Installing the Phoenix BaySwap Utility
If the Phoenix BaySwap utility for NEC VersaBay IV devices is not already installed,
use the NEC Customize utility to install it. For details about using the NEC Customize
utility, see Chapter 4 “Using the Operating System and Utilities.”
When the Swap utility is installed on your system, a small icon appears in the lower
right hand corner of the Windows taskbar. Moving your cursor over the icon displays
information about the device in the NEC VersaBay IV slot.
