UltraBay II Device swapping on ThinkPad 770E, 770X, & 770Z:
Most devices designed for the UltraBay II slot can be hot-swapped while Windows
2000 is running. To eject a device in the UltraBay II slot, do one of the following:
o Push the eject request button located on the front of the system-unit.
o Click the "Unplug or Eject Hardware" icon located on the desktop TaskBar.
Either action will generate a request to the operating system to eject the device; then
Windows 2000 will "grant" this request and begin unloading the necessary device
drivers. When the device ejection is complete, Windows 2000 displays a "Safe to
Remove Hardware" window. After this window appears, the user can safely remove
the device physically from the UltraBay II slot. Another indicator that the device
ejection completed successfully is the LED indicator next to the eject lever. This
LED will turn from a flashing green to off when the operating system has completed
the device ejection.
To insert a device, simply place the device into the UltraBay II slot, and then close
the release lever on the front side of the system-unit. After the lever is closed,
Windows 2000 will detect the device insertion, load the necessary device drivers, and
properly configure the device.
Depending on the configuration of the hard drive IDE channel, a secondary IDE hard
drive can be hot or warm-swapped under Windows 2000. The default configuration
for the secondary IDE channel is assigned to the "swappable bay" slot. In this case,
the user is hot-swap a hard disk drive similar to other IDE devices previously listed.
If the IDE hard disk drive device is configured as the primary slave device, and the
primary IDE channel is shared between the primary hard drive (the startup disk drive)
and the secondary hard drive, inserting and removing a device from the UltraBay II
slot requires warm swapping. If you press the eject request button or click the
"Unplug or Eject Hardware" icon in the desktop TaskBar, the computer will enter
Standby mode after stopping the IDE device to be removed. After the machine has
entered Standby, the user can physically remove the device from the UltraBay II slot.
If a diskette drive is inserted into the UltraBay II slot, the drive letter B will always be
assigned to this diskette drive while Windows 2000 is running. Because these
