Plug Device
This command (category Devices) is used to plug a device object, representing a
hardware module, to the currently selected slot in the devices tree. An empty slot is
identified by icon and entry "<Empty> (<Empty>)". An already occupied slot shows
icon and the device name.
The command opens the Add Device dialog, where you can choose one of devices
available for the current position. In case of an occupied slot the existing entry will be
replaced by the new one.

Update Device
This command (category Devices) is used to replace the device object currently
selected in the device tree by another one. This can be used either to change to
another version of the device or to replace it at all by another device type.
Like at normal inserting in the configuration tree, the Add Device dialog will be
opened, where you can choose one of the installed devices available for the current
position. The chosen device will be inserted instead of the previous one. The symbolic
device name, used in the device tree, will be maintained, the description of the device
type (in brackets behind the device name) will change if a different type has been
chosen. Thus, if just the device version has got changed, the object entry will look like
before.
