The WinBook FX will arrive with the CD-ROM Drive installed in the Media Bay. To use floppy disks, you must remove the CD-ROM Drive and install the Floppy Disk Drive module. You can swap modules under the following conditions: The WinBook FX is OFF, not charging the battery, and unplugged, or is OFF and charging the battery.

For further information and illustration, please refer to the User's Manual page 1-11.

  1. Make sure the power is OFF.
  2. Place the WinBook FX on a flat surface, top down.
  3. Locate the Media Bay release catch. Slide the release catch as shown in the illustration, and pull the module out of the bay.
  4. Align the replacement module and slide it in gently until the release catch snaps into place. Be sure to push the module all the way in so it is securely seated and flush with the edge of the computer.
