:
Do not replace the HDD and the motherboard at the same time. Doing so in the
wrong order, without updating the system, will cause the system to malfunction.
If troubleshooting strategies (checking cables and connections, reinstalling system software,
and so forth) do not solve the problem and you suspect either the HDD or the motherboard
is faulty,
note that it is highly unlikely that the HDD and the motherboard are both
defective; therefore, avoid replacing both to solve one problem.
Always troubleshoot in the
following order.
• First, replace the HDD and install system software.
Always replace a faulty HDD with a new HDD. Transferring a HDD from one E-8100 to
another is incorrect and strongly discouraged.
• If the problem persists, reinstall the original HDD in the system, and then replace the
motherboard.
If replacing a component does not correct the problem, make sure that you reinstall the old
component in the E-8100.
