REMOVING AND INSTALLING
MODULAR DEVICES
To remove and install modular devices in the Flexible
Bay, you can perform either a cold-swapping or hot-
swapping of the device. Cold-swapping means swapping
devices while your LifeBook notebook is powered off.
Hot-swapping occurs when your system is powered on
with a charged main battery or AC Adapter
.
Cold-swapping
To cold-swap modular devices in your Flexible Bay
follow these easy steps:
1. Close any open files.
2. Shut down your LifeBook notebook.
3. Turn the system over and slide the release latch
(Figure 2-18). Pull out the Flexible Bay device from
the slot.

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.
Be careful when aligning and seating
devices in the bay. If the fit is incorrect,
you may damage the bay or the device. If
the device does not move easily in the bay,
remove it, and check for dirt or foreign
objects. It will require a firm push to latch
the device in place.
