MultiBay Devices

MultiBay Weight Saver

The optional Mobile 3500 Expansion Unit (M35EU) comes with a
MultiBay weight saver in the MultiBay. This device is used to
protect the MultiBay when there is no other device in place. Insert
the weight saver into the MultiBay anytime the M35EU is
transported without another device in the MultiBay.

To remove the MultiBay weight saver from the MultiBay,
slide the MultiBay release lever to the left and pull the weight
saver out.

Inserting Devices into the MultiBay

The MultiBay in the optional Mobile 3500 Expansion Unit
(M35EU) supports a diskette drive, LS-120 drive, Zip Drive, or
second hard drive.

CAUTION:

Some but not all MultiBay devices can be hot plugged.

Refer to "Bay Configuration" in Chapter 6 to determine if the

computer must be on or off before inserting or removing MultiBay

devices. This helps protect the computer or the device from

damage, or data loss.
Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Before

touching the hard drive, ensure that you are discharged of static

electricity by touching a grounded metal object.
