CHAPTER 4: Using Drives and Accessories

Changing modules

Your notebook’s modular bay supports different bay modules,

such as a CD drive, DVD drive, combination DVD/CD-RW drive,

DVD±RW drive, a second hard drive, a diskette drive, a

secondary battery, or a weightsaver.

To change bay modules:

1 If you are removing a drive, make sure that there is no

disc in it.

2 Make sure that the notebook is not in Standby or

Hibernate mode.

3 Close the LCD panel.

4 Disconnect your notebook from the optional port

replicator.

5 Turn your notebook over so the bottom is facing up.

Caution

Turn off your notebook if you are removing the optional

secondary battery and the notebook does not have a charged main

battery and is not directly connected to AC power.
