4. Using the Notebook PC
Hard Disk Drive
Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds than floppy disk drives and
CD-ROM drives. Enhanced IDE drives provide a reliable, fast, and cost-effective mass storage solution
in the PC storage industry. The high speed transfer modes supported are Ultra DMA/66 up to 66MB/sec
and PIO mode 4 up to 16.6MB/sec. The Notebook PC comes with a removable 2.5” (6.35cm) wide and
.374” (.95cm) high UltraDMA/66 IDE hard disk drive with capacities up to 20GB, and supports
S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) to detect hard disk errors or failures before
they happen.
Important Handling Note
Improper handling during transit may damage the hard disk drive. Handle the Notebook PC carefully
and keep it away from static electricity and strong vibrations or impact. The hard disk drive is the most
sensitive component of the Notebook PC and will likely be the first or only component that is damaged
if the Notebook PC is dropped.
Removing the Hard Disk Drive
The Notebook PC features a removable hard disk drive secured in a compartment on the underside.
This design allows easy data mirroring for company use or multiple hard disk drives for specific func-
tions.
CAUTION: The hard disk drive compartment screw must be properly secured before transit
to prevent the hard disk drive from sliding out.
1. Turn the hard drive compartment screw coun-
terclockwise using a coin and remove the
cover.
2. Pull the hard drive’s plastic tab forward so
that the hard drive’s connector separates
from the Notebook PC, then lift the hard
drive out using the plastic tab.
