Removing and Installing Modular Devices
There are two ways to remove and install modular devices in the Modular Bay:
• Cold-swapping: swapping devices while your LIFEBOOK Tablet PC is powered off.
• 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 Modular Bay follow
these easy steps:
1 Close any open files and shut down your LifeBook notebook.
2 Pull out the Flexible Bay release latch. This will push your
device out slightly, allowing you to remove it.
3 Slide your device out 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.
5 It is now safe to turn your notebook back on.
6 You can now access and use the device.
Your Tablet PC will automatically detect the 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.
