Your LifeBook notebook contains a Flexible Bay. The
Flexible Bay can accommodate a modular DVD drive,
CD-RW drive, CD-ROM drive, DVD/CD-RW drive,
Lithium ion battery, or weight saver. (Figure 2-20)
You Flexible Bay will have one of the following devices
installed. All devices listed here are also options which
can be purchased separately. (Figure 2-21)
■ Modular CD-ROM drive: This allows you to access
software and audio CDs.
■ Modular DVD drive: This allows you to access movies,
software, and audio DVD/CDs.
■ Modular CD-RW drive: This allows you to access
both software and audio CDs as well as to write to
CDs.
■ Modular DVD-CD-RW combo drive: This allows you
to access movies, software, and audio DVD/CDs as
well as to write to CDs.
■ Modular Lithium ion battery: This is a rechargeable
battery that can be used to power your LifeBook note-
book when an adapter is not connected.
■ Weight Saver: This is used to fill the bay when no
device is needed.
