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:
1If you are removing a drive, make sure that there is no disc in it.
2Turn off your convertible notebook (do not place it in Standby or
Hibernate mode).
3Make 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.
4If the convertible notebook is connected to the optional port
replicator, disconnect it. For more information, see the port
replicator user guide.
5Turn your convertible notebook over so that the bottom is facing up.
