5. Remove the hard-disk drive assembly.

Turn the computer over and remove screws HD1 and HD2. Turn the com-
puter right side up. With the computer facing you, slide the hard-disk drive
cover to the left and away from the computer. Using the handle on the front
of the hard-disk drive, pull the drive straight out of the computer.

6. Remove the diskette drive, secondary battery, or CD-ROM from the

options drive bay.

NOTE: The options bay allows the user to replace the lithium ion battery or
diskette drive without turning off or rebooting the computer. This feature is
sometimes called
hot swapping. The CD-ROM can be inserted or removed
while the computer is in suspend mode. This feature is sometimes called
warm swapping. However, the CD-ROM must be in the computer before or
during boot in order for the drivers to load
.

Turn the computer over and push the lock towards the options bay. Slide the
latch toward the back of the computer (the latch does not move all the way
to the lock groove).
