Upgrading the Hard Disk Drive
The hard disk drive can be taken out to accommodate other 2.5" serial (SATA)
or parallel (PATA) hard disk drives with a height of 9.5mm (h) (see

install all necessary drivers and utilities (as outlined in
), when setting up a new hard disk.

Warning
New HDD’s are blank.
Before you begin make
sure:
You have backed up any
data you want to keep
from your old HDD.
You have all the CD-
ROMs and FDDs re-
quired to install your oper-
ating system and
programs.
If you have access to the
internet, download the lat-
est application and hard-
ware driver updates for
the operating system you
plan to install. Copy these
to a removable medium.
