Upgrading the Hard Disk Drive(s)
The hard disk Drive(s) can be taken out to accommodate other 2.5" serial (SATA)
hard disk drives with a height of 9.5mm (h) (see
). Follow
your operating system’s installation instructions, and install all necessary drivers
and utilities (as outlined in
“Drivers & Utilities” on page 4 - 1
), when setting up a
new hard disk.
Model C and D computers feature a primary and secondary hard disk bay (you
may have a second hard disk installed as part of a RAID). The procedure for remov-
ing the primary hard disk is the same for all models (see overleaf), and see also
moving the Hard Disk from the Secondary HDD Bay (Model C/D)” on page 6 - 11
.
Model A and B computers also feature a secondary hard disk module which is in-
terchangeable the optical CD/DVD device. Remove the optical device as instructed
on page
and replace it with the HDD module. If you need to remove the HDD
from the module caddy see
“Removing the Hard Disk from the Secondary HDD
Bay (Model A/B)” on page 6 - 14
.
