Media Bay Control Strip
The media bay control strip shows the current status of media bay devices that are installed in the PowerBook. Because media bay devices can be hot-swapped (meaning you do not need to shut down to remove them), the control strip can reflect whether a device is installed, and the type of device.
The table below shows the state of the Control Strip in some of the various media bay device configurations.
