Removing and Installing Devices While the Computer Is

Running

Your computer ships with an optical drive installed in the module bay. However, the device screw is not

installed in the optical drive but packaged separately. When you install your device in the module bay, you can

install the device screw.

If the Device Screw Is Not Installed

Microsoft® Windows® XP

1. Double-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon on the taskbar.

2. Click Stop and wait for the operating system to confirm that the device has stopped.

3. Click the device you want to eject.

4. Press the device latch release so that the latch release pops out.

CAUTION: Before performing any of the following procedures, read and follow the safety

instructions in the System Information Guide.

NOTE: You do not need to install the device screw unless you want to secure the module inside the

computer for security purposes.

NOTICE: To prevent damage to devices, place them in a safe, dry place when they are not installed in

the computer. Avoid pressing down on them or placing heavy objects on top of them.
