5. Slide the device you are installing into your notebook 

until it clicks into place.

6. It is now safe to turn your notebook back on.

7. You can now access and use the device.

Your LifeBook notebook will automatically detect the new 
device and activate it within your system. The drive letters 
associated with the device will be created and listed under 
My Computer and Windows Explorer. 

Hot-swapping 

Under Windows 2000 Professional, hot-swapping is 
provided through the Unplug or Eject Hardware utility, 
under Windows XP, hot-swapping is provided through the 
Safely Remove Hardware utility. 

The icon for the utility appears on the taskbar. Click on the 

icon and follow the on-screen instructions.

Be careful when 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. 

Your computer may be pre-configured to boot 
from a USB floppy drive. Reference the BIOS 
manual for further information on changing 
the default boot drive.
