Flexible Bay Devices

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains a Flexible Bay. The Flexible Bay can house an optical drive, a
Lithium ion battery, a modular second hard disk drive, or a weight saver.
Your Flexible Bay will have one of the following devices installed.
• Modular Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer: This allows you to access movies, software, and
audio DVD/CDs and record to DVD, CD, and DVD-RAM discs.
• Modular Blu-ray® RW drive: This allows you to access movies, software, and audio DVD/CDs and
Blu-ray discs as well as to write to Blu-ray discs.
• Modular DVD-ROM drive: This allows you to access software, data, or audio from CDs or DVDs.
• Modular second hard disk drive.
• Modular Lithium ion battery: This is a rechargeable battery that can be used to power your
LifeBook notebook 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 Safely Remove Hardware
