6.Remove the diskette drive, secondary battery, or CD-ROM from the options drive bay.

NOTE: The options bay allows the user to replace the lithium ion battery or diskette drive without turning off or rebooting the computer. This feature is sometimes called hot swapping. The CD-ROM can be inserted or removed while the computer is in suspend mode. This feature is sometimes called warm swapping. However, the CD-ROM must be in the computer before or during boot in order for the drivers to load.

Turn the computer over and push the lock towards the options bay. Slide the latch toward the back of the computer (the latch does not move all the way to the lock groove).
