Using the Modular Bay
The Modular Bay gives you additional flexibility. By
inserting and removing optical drive modules, you can
configure your computer for the task at hand without having
to carry unnecessary components with you when you travel.
HINT: Items from this list that did not come with your computer
can be purchased separately. See the accessories information
packaged with your system or visit toshibaaccessories.com.

Removing a module from the Modular Bay

Use caution when lifting or turning your computer. Failure to
do so may result in damage to components, such as cables,
attached to your computer, or to the computer itself.
1Turn off the computer.
You can also hot swap a module in the Modular Bay. Stop
the module by clicking the Safely Remove Hardware
icon on the System tray. After the module is stopped, it is
safe to remove.
2Slide the Modular Bay ejection bar towards the front of
the computer.
Never swap modules when the computer is in Hibernation or
Stand By mode. This is known as “warm swapping” and is not
supported with this computer. For more information on
Hibernation and Stand By modes, see “Hibernation command”
on page 85 and “Stand By command” on page 86.
