Modular Optical Drive
User’s Guide

INSTRUCTIONS

his guide contains information on your modular optical
drive and its associated software. We recommend that you
read this guide before using the drive, even if you are already
familiar with notebook computers and optical drives

Optical drives can be one of several
configurations (e.g., DVD, CD-ROM, CD-RW,
Combo Drive). For more information on using
your modular optical drive (or the other
available optical drives), see your computer’s
User’s Guide.

First Time Installation

To install the modular optical drive in your LifeBook
notebook flexible bay, follow these steps. (The configuration

of your system may differ from the illustrations. See your User’s
Guide for the location of your flexible bay and method of
releasing the module.)

1. Select the Unplug or Eject (Windows® 2000) or Safely
Remove Hardware (Windows® XP) icon from the

system tray and select the device you want to remove.

2. Disengage the flexible bay release latch to release the
current device. (Figure 1). This will push your device
out slightly, allowing you to remove the device.

3. Slide your device out until it is clear of the bay.

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.

4. Slide the optical drive into your notebook until it clicks

into place (Figure 2).

Your notebook automatically detects the drive and activates
it within your system. The drive letter associated with the
drive will be created and listed under My Computer and
Microsoft® Windows® Explorer.

Note that the configuration of your system may not be exactly
as shown; your drive bay may be in a different location and latch
action may be slightly different. Refer to your system User’s Guide
for specific location.
