Patent No. 8,076,798
USER’S MANUAL
Revised August 8, 2013
With WiebeTech’s HotPlug, you can seize and move a computer without powering down the
computer! This allows you to thoroughly pursue forensic analysis of that computer utilizing the
resources of your forensic lab, instead of in the field.
HotPlug keeps power flowing to the computer while transferring the computer's power input from
one A/C source (such as a power strip) to another (such as a portable UPS).
