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.

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

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.
