Installing a Primary Hard-Disk Drive
CAUTION: To prevent data loss, turn off your computer before removing the
hard-disk drive. Do not remove the hard-disk drive if the computer is in suspend
mode or if the drive access indicator is lit. Removing the drive under these
conditions will lead to loss of data.
To install a primary hard-disk drive, perform the following steps:
1. Save any open files, turn off the computer, and remove any installed batteries.
2. If there is a hard-disk drive in the drive bay, remove it.
Close the display and turn the computer over. Use a small Phillips-head
screwdriver to remove the two screws (see Figure 1) that hold the drive carrier in
the drive bay. Save the screws for use later in this procedure.
