Replacing the internal storage drive
Before you start, print these instructions. Read the important safety information first. See “Important
safety information” on page vi.
Attention:
The internal storage drive (hard disk drive, solid-state drive, or hybrid drive) is sensitive. Incorrect
handling can cause damage and permanent loss of data. Observe the following guidelines:
• Replace the storage drive only if you upgrade it or have it repaired. The connectors and slot of the storage
drive are not designed for frequent changes, or drive swapping.
• Do not drop the drive or subject it to physical shocks. Put the drive on a material, such as soft cloth, that
absorbs any physical shocks.
• Do not apply pressure to the cover of the drive.
• Do not touch the connector.
• Before removing the storage drive, make a backup copy of all the information on it, and then turn off the
computer.
• Never remove the drive while the computer is operating, in sleep mode, or in hibernation mode.
To replace the storage drive, do the following:
1. Disable the built-in battery. See “Disabling the built-in battery” on page 107.
2. Close the computer display, and turn the computer over.
3. Remove the base cover assembly. See “Replacing the base cover assembly” on page 113.
4. Detach the connector.
