Changing SelectBay modules
This section explains how to change modules in the SelectBay. It
describes removal of the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive and installation of the
SelectBay floppy disk drive. However, the procedures are the same for
any of the optional modules: DVD-R/RW drive, DVD-RAM drive,
SelectBay HDD adaptor or secondary battery pack.
To avoid injury, do not put your hand into the SelectBay slot.
Removing a module
Remove the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive as described below.
1.
Check all disk indicators to make sure no disks are operating.
2. Turn the computer upside down.
Wait for all disk indicators to go out before you turn over the computer
and be careful to lay the computer down gently. Shock can damage the
HDD or other components.
3. Slide the SelectBay release latch to the unlock position.
4. Grasp the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive and pull it out.
The CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive and other SelectBay modules can become
hot with use. Be careful when removing the module.
Installing a module
Install the FDD pack as described below.
1.
Insert the FDD into the SelectBay.
2. Press the drive firmly until you hear a click.
Using optical media drives
The computer can be configured with one of the following optical media
drives: DVD-ROM, CD-RW/DVD-ROM (standard), DVD-R/-RW or
DVD-RAM.
The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the DVD-ROM
drive. However, operation is the same for the other drives. The full-size
drive provides high-performance execution of DVD-ROM or CD-ROM-
based programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") discs
without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for drive
operation. When the computer is accessing a disc, an LED on the drive
glows. Refer to Chapter 2, The Grand Tour, for specifications on each
type of drive.
