■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.

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.

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 note- book 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.

Hot-swapping

Hot-swapping is provided through the Safely Remove Hardware utility. The icon for the utility appears on the taskbar. Click on the icon and follow the on-screen instructions.
