Flexible Bay Devices

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains a Flexible Bay. The Flexible Bay can house an optical drive, a Lithium ion battery, and a weight saver. (Figure 2-16)

Your Flexible Bay will have one of the following devices installed.

■Modular Super-Multi DVD drive: This allows you to access movies, software, and audio DVD/CDs and record to DVD, CD, and DVD-RAM discs.

■Modular DVD/CD-RW combo drive: This allows you to access movies, software, and audio DVD/CDs as well as to write to CDs.

■Modular CD-ROM drive: This allows you to access software, data, or audio CDs.

■Modular Lithium ion battery: This is a rechargeable battery that can be used to power your LifeBook note- book when an adapter is not connected.

■Weight Saver: This is used to fill the bay when no device is needed.

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 Unplug/Eject icon from your taskbar. Note that if the weight saver is installed rather than a modular device, it is not necessary to use BayManager when removing it.

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: (Figure 2-17)

1.Close any open files.

2.Shut down your LifeBook notebook.

3.Pull out the Flexible Bay eject lever. This will push your device out slightly, allowing you to remove the device.

4.Slide your device out until it is clear of the bay. This will require light force.

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.
