The module release latch automatically slides back into its proper position as you remove the module.

IMPORTANT You should not remove an expansion bay module if it is in use or you may lose data. If you try to remove the module when it is in use, you’ll see a message telling you to reinsert it. Reinsert the module, quit any files or programs that may be using the floppy disk (or other medium inserted in the module), then select the disk’s icon and choose Put Away from the File menu or drag the disk’s icon to the Trash. (If the module contains the startup disk, you can’t remove the module or drag the disk to the Trash.)

To be sure that you don’t get another in-use message, wait 5 seconds after quitting programs and ejecting a disk before you remove the module.

If you put your computer to sleep while a floppy disk or other medium is inserted, the green in-use light to the left of the module will flash (similar to the sleep indicator light on your computer’s display). You should not remove the module while the in-use light is on or flashing. (The exception is that it’s all right to remove a module while the computer is in sleep.)
