About the Module Bay
You can install devices such as a floppy drive, CD drive, CD-RW drive, DVD drive, CD-RW/DVD drive,
Dell TravelLite™ module, second battery, or second hard drive in the module bay.
NOTE:
All devices that you install in the module bay, except a second battery, can also be installed in
Dell D/Bay.
Your Dell™ computer ships with an optical drive installed in the module bay. However, the device screw is not
installed in the optical drive but packaged separately. When you install your device in the module bay, you can
install the device screw.
NOTE:
You do not need to install the device screw unless you want to secure the module inside the
computer for security purposes.
Checking the Charge on the Second Battery
Before you install a second battery, press the status button on the battery charge gauge to illuminate the
charge-level lights. Each light represents approximately 20 percent of the total battery charge. For example, if
the battery has 80 percent of its charge remaining, four of the lights are on. If no lights appear, the battery
no charge.
