Hard Disk Drive
Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster
speeds than floppy disk drives and optical drives. The Notebook
PC comes with a replaceable hard disk drive. Current hard drives
support S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology)
to detect hard disk errors or failures before they happen. When
replacing or upgrading the hard drive, always visit an authorized
service center or retailer for this Notebook PC.
Poor handling of the Notebook PC may damage the hard disk
drive. Handle the Notebook PC gently and keep it away from
static electricity and strong vibrations or impact. The hard disk
drive is the most delicate component and will likely be the
first or only component that is damaged if the Notebook PC is
dropped.
Disconnect all the connected peripherals, any telephone or
telecommunication lines and power connector (such as external
power supply, battery pack, etc.) before removing the hard disk
cover.
When replacing or upgrading the hard drive, always visit an
authorized service center or retailer for this Notebook PC.
The actual location of the hard disk drive differs by models. Refer
to the previous chapter to locate the hard disk drive.
