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

“Storage” on page C - 3

). 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 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 removing the pri-
mary hard disk is the same for all models (see overleaf), and see also

“Removing the

Hard Disk from the Secondary HDD Bay (Model C Only)” on page 6 - 11

.

HDD System Warning

New HDD’s are blank. Be-
fore 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 required to in-
stall your operating system
and programs.
If you have access to the in-
ternet, download the latest
application and hardware
driver updates for the oper-
ating system you plan to in-
stall. Copy these to a
removable medium.
