Flexible Bay Devices
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook contains a Flexible Bay.
The Flexible Bay can accommodate a modular DVD/
CD-RW combo drive, a modular Lithium ion battery, or
a weight saver.
(Figure 2-17)
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.
