chapter 4 upgrading your computer
Upgrading the Hard Disk Drive
Replacing the original drive with one of larger capacity can increase
the hard drive capacity of your computer. Depending on the model, the
computer may use a 9.5 mm (height), 2.5-inch Ultra ATA-type hard
disk drive.
Before the upgrade:
In order to find out what type of hard disk drive
the system uses, you need to follow the steps below to remove the
hard disk drive and identify the drive’s model number. Then look up the
drive’s model number in the HDD manufacturer’s website to find out
what type of hard disk your notebook uses.
Be sure to make a backup copy of all your data before attempting this
operation.

Warning:
A hard drive upgrade is a delicate process. Please observe the following
instructions carefully or have a qualified technician install it for you. Damages due to
mishandling of this procedure are NOT covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Warning:
Apply care when handling the hard disk.
Do not drop or apply any shock.
Do not press on the cover.
Do not touch the connector with your fingertips.
Mishandling of the hard drive can result in permanent loss of data. Make a
backup copy of the drive's content before you remove it.
Note:
Certain models that come with the IBM-brand hard drive emit a clattering sound
when they are being rattled. This is a normal condition.
