Using the System Drives and Bays 5-3
NEC VersaBay IV Slot
The NEC VersaBay IV slot is the bay located on the right side of the system. Your
NEC Versa notebook ships with a 24X CD-ROM drive, a CD read/write drive, an 8X
DVD-ROM drive, or a combination CD read/write and DVD-ROM drive installed in
the bay.
The NEC VersaBay IV slot lets you maximize your computer’s capabilities, and is
designed for ease-of-use. It allows you to:
!
Hot swap and warm swap storage devices.
!
Remove a VersaBay IV device simply by pressing the eject lever, without having to
turn the system over.
!
Install the weight-saving module that ships with the system. Using the module in
the VersaBay IV slot, you lighten your NEC Versa notebook for travel, and protect
the bay when no device is installed.
!
Install an optional secondary VersaBay IV battery in the slot instead of installing
a drive.
Do not remove or install the secondary battery while the
system is powered on or plugged in. Shut down and unplug the system first.
For details about using hot and warm swapping, refer to the section, “Phoenix
BaySwap Utility,” later in this chapter, or access the Phoenix BaySwap utility online
help.
Read the instructions that come with your VersaBay IV device for specific information
about installation and configuration. Contact your NEC Computers dealer to purchase
additional VersaBay IV devices.
Phoenix BaySwap Utility
The NEC VersaBay IV slot supports hot swapping (switching devices while the system
is powered on) and warm swapping (switching devices while the system is in a sleep
state) for many bay devices, through the Phoenix BaySwap Utility. Using hot swapping
and warm swapping extends the power of Plug-and-Play technology to your NEC
VersaBay IV devices. This dynamic solution further increases the flexibility of your
already versatile notebook computer.
