Installation or replacement of a hard disk drive requires special
knowledge and skill. If you have no experience in installing a hard
disk drive, or if the work seems difficult, contact Toshiba Technical
Support or your Toshiba dealer. (You will be charged a service fee.)

vibration. Handle the drive carefully to avoid losing data or
damaging the disk.
