Fujitsu S6510 manual Removing and Installing Modular Devices, Cold-swapping

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 the Safely Remove Hardware icon from your system tray.

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.

Cold-swapping

To cold-swap modular devices in your Flexible Bay follow these easy steps:

1Close any open files.

2Shut down your LifeBook notebook.

3Turn your system upside down.

4As you press the Flexible Bay release latch as shown in Figure 18, pull out the Flexible Bay module until it is clear of the bay. This will require light force.

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

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