4-10 Using Your NEC Versa 6200MX
Customizing Your System with the VersaBay II
Customizing your NEC Versa is easy using the VersaBay II. If you find you
require additional hard disk space or increased battery longevity, simply re-
move the standard device and plug in an optional hard disk drive or battery.
NOTE
If you install a second hard disk drive in the VersaBay II, it
can be set to either master or slave.
However, if you install a hard disk drive from a Versa model E, V,
M, or P in the VersaBay II, it becomes the master drive from which
the system boots.
Add another hard disk drive or second Li-Ion battery pack as follows.
1.
Remove the standard diskette drive or CD-ROM reader from the Versa-
Bay II as described in “Removing a Device from the VersaBay II.”
2.
Prepare your option for installation as follows:
To install a battery pack, first connect it to the VersaBay adapter that
came with the battery. (Follow the instructions that come with the
battery pack.)
To install a hard disk drive, first connect it to the appropriate Cradle
Pak. (Follow the instructions that come with the adapter.)
3.
Holding the front VersaBay II release latch towards the hard disk drive
bay, align the option and its carrier in the VersaBay II.
4.
Push in the option until it clicks into place.
5.
Turn the system over, open the LCD panel, and power on. The system
automatically recognizes the newly installed option.
