Removing and Installing Modular Devices
There are two ways to remove and install modular devices in the Modular Bay:
•Cold-swapping: swapping devices while your LifeBook Tablet PC is powered off.
•Hot-swapping: swapping devices while your system is active using the Safely Remove Hardware
icon from your system tray.
Hot-swapping
Hot-swapping is provided through the Safely Remove Hardware utility. The icon for the utility appears in
the system tray. Click on the icon and follow the on-screen instructions.
Cold-swapping
To cold-swap modular devices in your Modular
Bay follow these easy steps:
1Close any open files.
2Shut down your LifeBook Tablet PC.
3Press the Modular Bay release latch in the direction
shown in Figure 32.
4While holding the latch, slide your device out until it
is clear of the bay. This will require light force.
5Slide the device you are installing into your Tablet
PC until it clicks into place.
6It is now safe to turn your Tablet PC back on.
7You can now access and use the device.
Your Tablet PC will automatically detect the device
and activate it within your system. The drive letters
associated with the device will be created and listed
under My Computer and Windows Explorer.
