Changing Slim Select Bay modules

This section explains how to change modules in the Slim Select Bay. The
illustrations show replacement of the optical disk drive with the Slim Select
Bay HDD adaptor. Therefore, the text refers to those modules. However,
the procedures are the same for any of the modules: CD-ROM, DVD-ROM,
DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive, DVD Super Multi drive, HDD adaptor and 2nd
battery pack.
To avoid injury, do not put your hand into the Slim Select Bay slot.
The TOSHIBA Mobile Extension is preinstalled to support hot swapping
under Windows. Refer to Chapter 1,
this utility to change modules while the computer's power is on.

Removing a module

Remove the optical disk drive as described below.

indicators are off, it means that no disks are operating currently.
