• 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:
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.
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.
1 Close any open files.
2 Shut down your LIFEBOOK notebook.
3 Turn your system upside down.
4 As you press the Flexible Bay release
latch shown in Figure 23, pull out the
Flexible Bay module until it is clear of the
bay. This will require light force.
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.
