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, second
battery, or second hard drive in the module bay.
NOTE: You do not need to install the device screw unless you want to secure the module inside the computer for
security purposes.
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.
