Adding and Removing Devices

Adding or removing a device to a virtual machine is easier than connecting new devices to a real computer. The following virtual devices can be added to the virtual machine configuration or removed from it:

• virtual hard disk
• CD/DVD-ROM drive
• floppy disk drive
• network adapter
• serial port
• parallel port
• USB controller
• generic SCSI device
• sound device

You can add these devices to the virtual machine configuration or remove some of them only when the virtual machine is stopped.
