If you are removing a device from the media bay and installing a battery, refer to
"Installing a Second Battery" found later in this chapter.
Your computer comes with a lithium-ion battery installed in the battery bay. The
battery provides power to your computer when AC power is not available.
NOTE: You can also install a second battery in the media bay. If the computer already
contains a battery in the battery bay and you are installing a second battery, see
"Installing a Second Battery" found later in this chapter.
To install a battery in the battery bay, perform the following steps:
1. Save and close any open files, exit any open application programs, and shut down
the computer.
2. If the computer is docked, undock it.
For instructions, see your Advanced Port Replicator User's Guide.
3. If the media bay contains a battery, go to step 5. Otherwise, continue to step 4.
4. If the only battery in the computer is in the battery bay and that is the battery you
want to replace, connect the computer to an electrical outlet and then preserve
your data in one of the following ways:
Use standby mode.
Place the computer in standy mode by pressing <Fn><Esc> (or <Scroll
Lock><Esc> on an external keyboard if the External Hot Key option is
enabled in the System Setup program). Then shut down the computer.
Use save-to-disk suspend mode.
Place the computer in save-to-disk suspend mode by pressing <Fn><a>
(or <Fn><q> on a French keyboard). When the green power indicator turns
off, continue to step 5.
