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 optical drives. The Notebook PC comes with a replaceable hard disk drive. Current hard drives support S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology) to detect hard disk errors or failures before they happen. When replacing or upgrading the hard drive, always visit an authorized service center or retailer for this Notebook PC. IMPORTANT! Poor handling of the Notebook PC may damage the hard disk drive. Handle the Notebook PC gently and keep it away from static electricity and strong vibrations or impact. The hard disk drive is the most delicate component and will likely be the first or only component that is damaged if the Notebook PC is dropped. WARNING! Disconnect all the connected peripherals, any telephone or telecommunication lines and power connector (such as external power supply, battery pack, etc.) before removing the hard disk cover.

Installing the Hard Disk Drive

Hard Disk Drive

Hard disk drives have higher capacities and operate at much faster speeds than

ﬂoppy disk drives and optical drives. The Notebook PC comes with a replaceable hard

disk drive. Current hard drives support S.M.A.R.T. (Self Monitoring and Reporting

Technology) to detect hard disk errors or failures before they happen. When replacing

or upgrading the hard drive, always visit an authorized service center or retailer for this

Notebook PC.

IMPORTANT!

Poor handling of the Notebook PC may damage the hard disk drive.

Handle the Notebook PC gently and keep it away from static electricity and strong

vibrations or impact. The hard disk drive is the most delicate component and will likely

be the ﬁrst or only component that is damaged if the Notebook PC is dropped.

WARNING! Disconnect all the con-

nected peripherals, any telephone

or telecommunication lines and

power connector (such as external

power supply, battery pack, etc.) be-

fore removing the hard disk cover.
