Using the Notebook PC

Hard Disk Drive Compartment

The hard disk drive is secured in a compartment.

Visit an authorized service center or retailer for

information on hard disk drive upgrades for your

Notebook PC. Only purchase hard disk drives from

authorized retailers of this Notebook PC to ensure

maximum compatibility and reliability.

Hard Disk Drive

Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds than floppy

disk drives and optical drives. The Notebook PC comes with a replaceable hard disk

drive. Current hard drives support S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technol-

ogy) to detect hard disk errors or failures before they happen. When replacing or upgrading

the hard drive, always visit an authorized service center or retailer for this Notebook PC.

IMPORTANT! Poor handling of the Notebook PC may damage the hard disk drive.

Handle the Notebook PC gently and keep it away from static electricity and strong

vibrations or impact. The hard disk drive is the most delicate component and will likely

be the first or only component that is damaged if the Notebook PC is dropped.

Removing the Hard Disk Drive

WARNING! Disconnect all the connected

peripherals, any telephone or telecom-

munication lines and power connector

(such as external power supply, battery

pack, etc.) before removing the hard

disk cover.
