Removing and Installing Modular Devices
There are two ways to remove and install modular devices in the Flexible Bay:
• Cold-swapping: swapping devices while your LifeBook notebook is powered off.
• Hot-swapping: swapping devices while your system is active, using the Safely Remove Hardware
icon from your system tray.
Cold-swapping
To cold-swap modular devices in your Flexible Bay follow these easy steps:
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.
1 Close any open files.
2 Shut down your LifeBook notebook.
3 Turn your system upside down.
4 As you press the Flexible Bay release
latch as shown in Figure
22, pull out the
Flexible Bay module until it is clear of
the bay. This will require light force.
5 Slide the device you are installing into
your notebook until it clicks into place.
6 It is now safe to turn your notebook
back on.
7 You can now access and use the
device.
