Removing an expansion bay module

To remove an expansion bay module from your Macintosh PowerBook, follow
these steps:

1

Quit any application programs or files that are using the floppy disk or compact disc

(CD) or other medium inserted in the expansion bay module.

Remember to save your work.

2

If a floppy disk or CD is inserted in the module, click its icon to select it and drag its icon

to the Trash (or choose Put Away from the File menu).

You should not remove the module if a disk is in use. If you have any other
kind of optional expansion bay module, make sure you drag the icon for its
media to the Trash or select the icon and choose Put Away from the
File menu.

3

Shut down the computer or put it in sleep.

Choose Shut Down or Sleep from the Special menu or use the Control Strip’s
sleep section.

4

Unlock the expansion bay module by sliding the module release latch on the bottom of

your Macintosh PowerBook in the direction of the arrow.

The figure above shows a floppy disk module. Your PowerBook may have a
CD-ROM drive installed in the expansion bay. (For more about the CD-ROM
drive, see “Using a CD in the CD-ROM Drive” later in this chapter.)

To unlock the module, slide and hold the latch
on the underside of the computer.
