Flexible Bay Devices

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains a Flexible Bay.
The Flexible Bay can accommodate a modular DVD/
CD-RW combo drive, Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD
Writer, Lithium ion battery, or weight saver. (Figure 2-
17)
Modular DVD/CD-RW combo drive: This allows you
■
to access movies, software, and audio DVD/CDs as
well as to write to CDs.
Modular Dual-Layer Multi-Format DVD Writer: This
■
allows you to access movies, software, and audio
DVD/CDs as well as to write to CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-
R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD RAM
discs.
Modular Lithium ion battery: This is a rechargeable
■
battery that can be used to power your LifeBook note-
book 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 Unplug/Eject icon from your taskbar.
Note that if the weight saver is installed rather than a
modular device, it is not necessary to use BayManager
when removing it
.
You should never leave your Flexible Bay
empty when the notebook is in operation.
If left empty, dust or foreign matter may
accumulate inside the notebook.
Cold-swapping
To cold-swap modular devices in your Flexible Bay
follow these easy steps: (Figure 2-18)

2. Shut down your LifeBook notebook.
3. Pull out the Flexible Bay eject lever. This will push
your device out slightly, allowing you to remove it.

This may require light force.

5. Slide the device you are installing into your
notebook until it clicks into place.
6. It is now safe to turn your notebook back on.
7. You can now access and use the device.
Your LifeBook notebook will automatically detect the
new device and activate it within your system. The drive
letters associated with the device will be created and
listed under My Computer and Windows Explorer.
Hot-swapping
Under Windows XP Home and Windows XP Profes-
sional, hot-swapping is provided through the Unplug or
Eject Hardware utility.
The icon for the utility appears on the taskbar. Click on
the icon and follow the on-screen instructions.

Be careful when aligning and seating
devices in the bay. If the fit is incorrect,
you may damage the bay or the device. If
the device does not move easily in the bay,
remove it, and check for dirt or foreign
objects. It will require a firm push to latch
the device in place.
