Using the Hard Disk Drive
Your computer normally comes with a 2.5-inch Serial-ATA hard disk drive. A hard disk
drive is a storage device where your operating system and application programs are
stored.
This type of drive embodies the latest in fast, reliable mass storage by integrating all the
control circuitry necessary for operation directly onto the drive itself. This allows the
drive manufacturer to optimize the performance of the drive.
The system comes with a built-in heater that automatically turns on during low
temperature operation. The HDD-heater-on indicator blinks red when the heater is on. In
low temperature environments, you should operate the system using AC power to
conserve battery power.
CAUTION:
1. Make regular backups of your data files from the hard disk drive to CDs or other storage
media.
2. Never try to remove or install the hard disk drive while the computer is powered ON. Doing so
can result in loss of data, and can damage the computer and the hard disk drive’s sensitive
circuitry.
3. Never turn off or reset the computer while the hard disk drive in-use indicator is on.
