Flexible Bay Devices

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains a Flexible Bay. The Flexible Bay can accommodate a modular DVD/ CD-ROM combo drive, a modular Lithium ion battery, or a weight saver. (Figure 2-17)

The modular DVD/CD-RW combo drive allows you to access movies, software and audio DVD/CDs, as well as the ability to write to CDs.

The modular Lithium ion battery is a rechargeable battery that can be used to power your LifeBook note- book when an adapter is not connected.

The Weight Saver is used to fill the bay when no device is needed.

REMOVING AND INSTALLING

MODULAR DEVICES

To remove and install modular devices in the Flexible Bay, you can perform either a cold-swapping or hot- swapping of the device. Cold-swapping means swapping devices while your LifeBook notebook is powered off. Hot-swapping occurs when your system is powered on with a charged main battery or AC Adapter.

C A U T I O N

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.

C A U T I O N

Be careful when aligning and seating devices in the bay. If the fit is incorrect, you may damage the bay or the device. If the device does not move easily in the bay, remove it, and check for dirt or foreign objects. It will require a firm push to latch the device in place.

5.Slide the device you are installing into your notebook until it clicks into place.

6.It is now safe to turn your notebook back on.

7.You can now access and use the device.

Your LifeBook notebook will automatically detect the new 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.
