Flexible Bay Devices

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains a Flexible Bay.
The Flexible Bay can house an optical drive, a Lithium
ion battery, and a weight saver. (Figure 2-16)
Your Flexible Bay will have one of the following devices
installed.
Modular Super-Multi DVD drive: This allows you to
access movies, software, and audio DVD/CDs and
record to DVD, CD, and DVD-RAM discs.
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 CD-ROM drive: This allows you to access
software, data, or audio 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 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.

To cold-swap modular devices in your Flexible Bay
follow these easy steps: (Figure 2-17)
1. Close any open files.
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 the
device.

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.
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.
