Changing Slim Select Bay modules
This section explains how to change modules in the Slim Select Bay.
The illustrations show replacement of the optical media drive with the Slim
Select Bay HDD adaptor. Therefore, the text refers to those modules.
However, the procedures are the same for any of the modules: DVD-ROM
drive, DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive, DVD±R/±RW drive, DVD Super Multi
drive, HDD adaptor, Slim Select Bay 2nd battery pack with separate tray.
Removing a module
Remove the optical media drive as described below.
1. You can confirm that the disks are not operating with indicators.
If all indicators are off, it means that no disks are operating currently.
2. Turn the computer upside down.
3. Remove the lock screw near the icon securing the Slim Select Bay.
4. Make sure the screw in the Slim Select Bay lock is set in the hole for the
unlock position.
5. Slide the Slim Select Bay latch to the unlock position.
■ To avoid injury, do not put your hand into the Slim Select Bay slot.
■ Before removing or inserting a second battery pack, turn off the
computer’s power.
The TOSHIBA Mobile Extension is preinstalled to support hot swapping
under Windows. Refer to Chapter 1, Introduction for information on using
this utility to change modules while the computer’s power is on.
Wait for all disk indicators to go out before you turn over the computer and
do not lay the computer down gently. Shock can damage the HDD or other
components.
