5 Upgrading your computer

English
Removing and installing a hard disk
drive
The computer may include an optional easy-swap hard disk drive. One standard
3.5-inch Serial ATA hard drive may be mounted in a carrier that connects to a SATA
interface on the disk cage backplane.
Note:
In certain configurations the carrier already contains a hard disk drive.
Easy-swap technology shortens system downtime for changing the hard disk or
performing an upgrade.
Warning: Do not attach or detach the hard drive while the system is on. It
may cause damage to the device or lose data.
Removing the hard disk drive carrier

Follow these instructions only on computers that include an easy-
swap carrier.
