Changing modules
Your convertible notebook’s modular bay supports different
bay modules , such as a CD, combination DVD/CD-RW, or
multi-format DVD±RW drive, or a multibay battery.
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 convertible notebook is not in Sleep
or Hibernate mode.
3
Make sure that the LCD panel is in notebook mode, then
close the LCD panel. For more information, see
“Converting from notebook to tablet mode” on page 43 .
4
Disconnect your convertible notebook from the optional
port replicator.
5
Turn your convertible notebook over so the bottom is
facing up.
6
Remove the modular bay lock screw (if one is present),
then slide and hold the module bay latch. The module
may move out slightly.
Caution
If you are replacing a multibay battery, turn off the convertible
notebook if it does not have a charged main battery and is not directly
connected to AC power.
