Upgrading the Hard Disk Drive

Replacing the original drive with one of larger capacity can increase

the hard drive capacity of your computer. The computer uses a 9.5

mm (height), 2.5-inch Serial ATA type hard disk.

Be sure to make a backup copy of all your data before attempting

this operation.

Warning:

Hard drive upgrade is a delicate process. Please observe the following

instructions carefully or have a qualified technician install it for you. Damages due to

mishandling of this procedure are NOT covered by the manufacture’s warranty.

Warning:

Apply care when handling the hard disk.

„

Do not drop or apply any shock.

„

Do not press on the cover.

„

Do not touch the connector with your fingertips.

„

Mishandling of the hard drive can result in permanent loss of data. Make a

backup copy of the drive s content before you remove it.

Note:

Certain models that come with the IBM-brand hard drive emit a clattering

sound when it is being rattled. This is a normal condition.
