Changing modules

Your convertible notebook’s modular bay supports different bay modules,

such as a CD, combination DVD/CD-RW, or multi-format DVD±RW

drive, or multibay battery.

To change bay modules:

1 If you are removing a drive, make sure that there is no disc in it.

2 Turn off your convertible notebook (do not place it in Standby or

Hibernate mode).

3 Make sure that the LCD panel is in notebook mode, then close the

LCD panel. For more information, see Using the display in your

convertible notebook user guide.

4 If the convertible notebook is connected to the optional port

replicator, disconnect it. For more information, see the port

replicator user guide.

5 Turn your convertible notebook over so that the bottom is facing up.
