REMOVING AND INSTALLING
MODULAR DEVICES
There are two ways to remove and install modular
devices in the Flexible Bay:
■
Cold-swapping: swapping devices while your
LifeBook notebook is powered off.
■
Hot-swapping: swapping devices while your
system is active using BayManager
™
software
(Windows 98 only) or the Unplug/Eject icon from
your desktop (Windows 2000). Note that if the weight
saver is installed rather than a modular device, it is not
necessary to use BayManager when removing it.
