Modular Bay
Your computer comes with a floppy drive installed in the modular bay. To use another device in the modular bay, first remove the floppy drive (see
" Swapping Devices While the Computer Is Off " or " Swapping Devices While the Computer Is On .")
NOTICE: When drives are not inside the computer, they are fragile and must be handled carefully to avoid damage. Do not press
down on the drives or place heavy objects on top of them. Place the drives in a travel case to keep them free of dust and liquids.
Store the drives in a safe place.
You can install the following modules in the modular bay:
l Second battery
l
Floppy drive
l CD drive
l DVD drive
l
CD-RW drive

To make the computer as light as possible, use the travel module in the modular bay in place of any of the available drives.
