- Flexible Bay Devices
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 notebook and turn your system upside down.
3 As you press the Flexible Bay release button as shown in Figure 19, pull out the Flexible Bay module until it is
clear of the bay. This will require light force.
4 Slide the device you are installing into your notebook until it clicks into place as shown in Figure 19.
5 It is now safe to turn your notebook back on and use the device.
Your LIFEBOOK will automatically detect the new 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.
