Your modular floppy disk drive installs in the system’s
Flexible Bay.
The proper connection of your modular floppy disk drive is
determined by the computer’s power state when you connect
the floppy disk drive (system suspended, running, or off).
In the following steps, the floppy disk drive is referred to as a
“modular device” or “Flexible Bay device”; all modular
devices use the same procedure.
There are two ways to remove and install your floppy disk
drive in the Flexible Bay:
■
Cold-swapping:
Swapping Flexible Bay devices while your
LifeBook notebook is powered off.
■
Hot-swapping:
Swapping Flexible Bay devices while your
system is active using the device removal icon from your
taskbar (In Windows XP systems, the utility is called Safely
Remove Hardware; in Windows 2000 systems, it is called
Unplug or Eject Hardware.) Note that if the weight saver is
installed rather than a modular device, it is not necessary
to use BayManager when removing it.
You should never leave your Flexible Bay
empty when the notebook is in operation. If
left empty, dust or foreign matter may accu-
mulate inside the notebook.
