           <p>One annoying thing is when you take out one of the UltraBay
           2000 devices; the system starts beeping. The only way to make it
           stop is to suspend and then plug in a device in the UltraBay (not
           necessarily the same one). Note that hot-swap of UltraBay 2000
           devices is not currently supported in OpenBSD (as of 2.8), thus
           it's only safe to hot-swap batteries.</p>
