Upgrading Your VAIO Computer
Installing the Hard Disk Drive
The main unit of your computer is equipped with open internal bays to hold additional 3.5-inch hard disk drives.
Review the manufacturer's information provided with your new hard disk drive before attempting to install it in the unit.

The entire repair cost will be charged if there is a failure or an accident arising from installation of a hard disk by yourself.
Hard disk installation requires great care. Improper installation or removal will cause a malfunction of your computer.
If you need assistance to install a hard disk, contact VAIO-Link.
Be sure to avoid accidental disconnection of the internal cables of the main unit during hard disk installation.
Be sure to avoid injury during hard disk installation as the main unit contains components and circuit boards with sharp corners and edges.
If you leave a foreign object, for example a screw, inside the main unit during hard disk installation, turning on your computer may cause to produce
fumes. Be sure to remove the object from the unit and replace the top panel before turning on the computer.
Do not touch the electronic components on the internal circuit board of the main unit to avoid a malfunction as they are susceptible to external pressure
and static electricity.
The drive bay size of your computer is 3.5 inches.
Some hard disks are not compatible with your computer. Contact the manufacturer of your hard disk for compatibility with VAIO computers.
There may be some limitations on video import from i.LINK devices, depending on your hard disk.
Make sure you unplug the main unit and peripheral devices, including the access unit, from the power sources before installing or removing a hard
disk. Installing or removing a hard disk while the main unit is plugged to its power source may cause damage to the both units and the peripheral
devices as well as the hard disk.
