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 BayManager™ software (Windows 98 only) or the Unplug/Eject icon from your desktop (Windows 2000). Note that if the weight saver is installed rather than a modular device, it is not necessary to use BayManager when removing it.

W A R N I N G

You should never leave your Flexible Bay empty when the notebook is in operation. If left empty, dust or for- eign matter may accumulate inside the notebook.
