If you are removing a device from the media bay and installing a battery, refer to
"Installing a Second Battery," found later in this chapter.
To remove and replace devices with Softex Docking Services or Softex BayManager,
perform the following steps:
1. Verify that the Diskette Reconfig option in the System Setup program is set to
Any Time.
2. Save and close any open files, and exit any open application programs.
3. If the computer is docked, undock it. For instructions, see your Advanced Port
Replicator User's Guide.
NOTICE: When the CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, SuperDisk LS-120, and
diskette drives are not inside the computer, they are fragile and must
be handled carefully to avoid damage. Do not press down on the
drives or place heavy objects on top of them. Place the drives in a
travel case to keep them free of dust and liquids. Store the drives in a
safe place.
4. Double-click the Docking Services or BayManager icon in the Windows system
tray on the taskbar.
The Softex BayManager window appears for Windows 98. The Docking
Services window appears for Windows NT .
5. Click the Remove/Swap button.
6. If the media bay contains a device, remove the device as follows (see Figure 2-2):
a. Verify that the Display Close option in the System Setup program is set to
Active.
b. Close the computer display and turn the computer over.
c. Slide the media bay latch toward the unlock icon.
d. Hold the media bay latch in this position with one hand while pulling the
device out of the bay with your other hand.
e. Release the media bay latch after the device is removed.
f. Turn the computer over and open the computer display.
g. If you want the computer to activate save-to-disk suspend mode when you
close the display while the computer is turned on, set the Display Close
option in the System Setup program to Suspend.
NOTE: Softex Docking Services and Softex BayManager do not report a second
battery installed in the media bay on the Storage Devices tab.
