About the Module Bay
You can install devices such as a floppy drive, CD drive, CD-RW drive, DVD drive, CD-RW/DVD drive, DVD+RW, Dell TravelLite™ module, second battery, or
second hard drive in the module bay.
Your Dell™ computer ships with an optical drive installed in the module bay. However, the device screw is not installed in the optical drive but packaged
separately. When you install your device in the module bay, you can install the device screw.
Checking the Charge on the Second Battery
Before you install a second battery, press the status button on the battery charge gauge to illuminate the charge-level lights. Each light represents
approximately 20 percent of the total battery charge. For example, if the battery has 80 percent of its charge remaining, four of the lights are on. If no lights
appear, the battery has no charge.
Removing and Installing Devices While the Computer Is Turned Off
