Hi-Speed USB Port (.0/1.1) (4)
The USB (Universal Serial Bus) port is compatible with USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 devices
such as keyboards, pointing devices, cameras, hard disk drives, printers, and scanners
connected in a series up to 12Mbits/sec (USB 1.1) and 480Mbits/sec (USB 2.0). USB
allows many devices to run simultaneously on a single computer, with some peripherals
acting as additional plug-in sites or hubs. USB supports hot-swapping of devices so that
most peripherals can be connected or disconnected without restarting the computer.

release to extend the handle. Then pull on the handle to remove the drive.

extended, gently pull the smart bay out of the opening.

does not work. Do not use the emergency eject in place of the electronic eject.
