Upgrading Your VAIO Computer

Adding the Hard Disk Drive

If your computer is a VGC-LT series model, it is equipped with an open internal bay to hold an additional 3.5-inch hard disk
drive.

Review the manufacturer's information provided with your new hard disk drive before attempting to install it in the computer.

Some hard disks are not compatible with your computer. Contact the manufacturer of your hard disk for compatibility with VAIO computers.

Make sure you unplug your computer and peripheral devices from the power sources before installing or removing a hard disk. Installing or removing

a hard disk while your computer is plugged to its power source may cause damage to the computer and the peripheral devices as well as the hard disk.

If you need assistance to install a hard disk, contact VAIO-Link.
