Flexible Bay Devices

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains a Flexible Bay.
The Flexible Bay can accommodate a modular DVD
drive, CD-ROM drive, CD-RW drive, DVD/CD-RW
drive, Lithium ion battery, and weight saver. (Figure 2-
18)
Your Flexible Bay will have one of the following devices
installed. These devices are also optional and can be
purchased separately. (Figure 2-19)
Modular DVD drive: This allows you to access movies,
software and audio DVD/CDs.
Modular CD-ROM drive: This allows you to access
both software and audio CDs.
The following are also Flexible Bay optional devices
which can be purchased separately. (Figure 2-19)
Modular CD-RW drive: This allows you to access
both software and audio CDs as well as the ability
to write to CDs.
Modular DVD/CD-RW combo drive: This allows you
to access movies, software and audio DVD/CDs, as
well as the ability to write to CDs.
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 BayManager
(Windows 98 only) or the Unplug/Eject icon from
your taskbar (Windows 2000 and XP). Note that if the
weight saver is installed rather than a modular device,
it is not necessary to use BayManager when removing
it.
W A R N I N G
You should never leave your Flexible Bay empty when
the notebook is in operation. If left empty, dust or for-
eign matter may accumulate inside the notebook.
