Cold-swapping
To cold-swap modular devices in your Flexible Bay follow these easy steps:
Your LifeBook notebook will automatically detect the new device and activate it within your system.
The drive letters associated with the device will be created and listed under My Computer and
Windows Explorer.
Hot-swapping
Under Windows XP, hot-swapping is provided through the Safely Remove Hardware utility.
The icon for the utility appears in the system tray. Click on the icon and follow the on-screen
instructions.
YOU SHOULD NEVER LEAVE YOUR FLEXIBLE BAY EMPTY WHEN THE NOTEBOOK IS IN OPERATION. IF LEFT
EMPTY, DUST OR FOREIGN MATTER MAY ACCUMULATE INSIDE THE NOTEBOOK.
