The following devices have icons on the status bar:

When a device is used, a colored circle on its icon indicates its state:

If a device can be connected or disconnected at runtime (actually, most of the devices can be),
this can be done using the device's shortcut menu. Click the device icon to display its shortcut
menu and select the command. The picture below shows the shortcut menu for the CD/DVD-
ROM drive.
You can also connect CD/DVD discs or images of discs to the virtual machine's CD/DVD-
ROM drive or connect a floppy image to its floppy drive in the following way: drag the required
image file over the CD/DVD-ROM drive icon on the Parallels Desktop status bar. For more
information, please refer to the Changing Configuration at Runtime section (page 127).
