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.
