Changing SelectBay modules
This section explains how to change modules in the SelectBay. The
illustrations show replacement of the CD-ROM drive with the diskette
drive. Therefore, the text refers to those modules. However, the
procedures are the same for any of the modules: diskette drive,
DVD-ROM drive, CD-ROM drive, optional SelectBay HDD Adaptor II or
optional secondary battery pack.
To avoid injury, do not put your hand into the SelectBay slot.
The SelectBay Utility is preinstalled to support hot swapping under
Windows 95 and Windows 98. Refer to Chapter 1, Introduction , and to the
utility's online help files for information on using this utility to change
modules while the computer’s power is on.
Removing a module
Remove the CD-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 back the SelectBay lock to the unlock position.
4. Fit a coin into the slot at the base of the SelectBay module and twist to
eject the SelectBay partially.
