There are three ways to remove and install modular
devices in the Flexible Bay:
■ Cold-swapping: swapping devices while your
notebook is powered off.
■ Warm-swapping: swapping devices while your
notebook is in suspend mode.
■ Hot-swapping: swapping devices while your
system is active using BaySwap
™ software.

Be careful aligning and seating devices in the bay. If the
fit is incorrect, you may damage the bay or the device.
If the device does not move easily in the bay, remove it,
and check for dirt or foreign objects. It will require a
firm push to latch the device in place.
