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 Tablet PC is powered off.
• Hot-swapping: swapping devices while your system is active using the Safely Remove Hardware
icon from your system tray.
Cold-swapping
To cold-swap modular devices in your Flexible Bay
follow these easy steps:
1
Close any open files.
2
Shut down your LifeBook Tablet PC.
3
Turn the system upside down and press the Flexible
Bay release latch in the direction shown in Figure
30.
4
While holding the latch, slide your device out until it
is clear of the bay. This will require light force.
5
Slide the device you are installing into your Tablet
PC until it clicks into place.
6
It is now safe to turn your Tablet PC back on.
7
You can now access and use the device.
Your Tablet PC will automatically detect the 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
Hot-swapping is provided through the Safely Remove Hardware utility. The icon for the utility appears in
the system tray. Click on the icon and follow the on-screen instructions.
