Changing drives
Your notebook’s modular bays support different bay modules, such as a DVD
drive, a recordable CD drive, a second hard drive, a diskette drive, or a secondary
battery.
To change bay modules:
1 If you are removing a DVD, recordable CD, or diskette drive, make sure
that the drive is empty.
2 Click the remove hardware icon in the taskbar, the drive you are
removing, then click
Stop.
-OR-
Turn off your notebook (do not place it in Standby or Hibernate mode).
Important The diskette drive and secondary battery can only be used
in the right-side modular bay. All other drives can be used
in either the left or right-side modular bay.
