Flexible Bay Devices
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains a Flexible Bay.
The Flexible Bay can accommodate a modular DVD/
CD-ROM combo drive, a modular Lithium ion battery,
or a weight saver. (Figure 2-16)
The modular DVD/CD-RW combo drive allows you to
access movies, software and audio DVD/CDs, as well as
the ability to write to CDs.
The modular Lithium ion battery is a rechargeable
battery that can be used to power your LifeBook note-
book when an adapter is not connected.
The Weight Saver is used to fill the bay when no device is
needed.

REMOVING AND INSTALLING
MODULAR DEVICES
To remove and install modular devices in the Flexible
Bay, you can perform either a cold-swapping or hot-
swapping of the device. Cold-swapping means swapping
devices while your LifeBook notebook is powered off.
Hot-swapping occurs when your system is powered on
with a charged main battery or AC Adapter.
Cold-swapping
To cold-swap modular devices in your Flexible Bay
follow these easy steps: (Figure 2-18)
1. Close any open files.
2. Shut down your LifeBook notebook.
3. Pull out the Flexible Bay eject lever. This will push
your device out slightly, allowing you to remove the
device.
4. Slide your device out until it is clear of the bay.
This will require light force.

letters associated with the device will be created and
listed under My Computer and Windows Explorer.

Be careful when aligning and seating devices in the bay.
If the fit is incorrect, you may damage the bay or the
device. If the device does not move easily in the bay,
remove it, and check for dirt or foreign objects. It will
require a firm push to latch the device in place.
