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/33 up to 33MB/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/33 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 tray. This design allows easy data mirroring for company use or multiple hard disk drives for specific functions. To remove the hard disk drive, make sure that the power is turned OFF, then remove (counter-clockwise) the screw using a screw driver or coin and slide the tray out slowly. CAUTION: The hard disk drive compartment screw must be properly secured before transit to prevent the hard disk drive from sliding out. 58
