Abstract:
An example peripheral device includes a module interface to receive power and data communication from a computing device. The peripheral device also includes an attachment tab to affix the peripheral device to a lower side of the computing device. The peripheral device further includes a latch to control an engagement of the attachment tab with the computing device. The peripheral device further includes a sensing circuit to detect a change in position of the latch. The peripheral device further includes a controller to, in response to detecting the latch moving from a locked position to an unlocked position, indicate a hot unplug prediction to the computing device via the module interface.
