Changing Slim Select Bay modules
This section explains how to change modules in the Slim Select Bay. The illustra-
tions show replacement of the DVD-ROM drive with the Slim Select Bay HDD

the same for any of the modules: CD-ROM drive, DVD-ROM drive, CD-RW/DVD-
ROM drive, DVD Multi drive, HDD adaptor, Slim Select Bay 2nd battery pack with
separate tray or weight saver.
CAUTIONS: 1. To avoid injury, do not put your hand into the Slim

swapping under Windows. Refer to Chapter 1, Introduction for

power is on.
