Replacing the hard disk You can replace the hard disk that is installed in the PS3™ system. Caution Remove the hard disk in a location out of the reach of small children to help prevent accidental swallowing of small parts such as screws. The inside of the system is hot directly after use. Allow time for the system to cool down before starting to remove the hard disk. Be careful not to injure yourself when removing or handling the screw cover or the hard disk. Be sure to reattach the screw cover and the HDD bay cover before turning the PS3™ system on. If these covers are not attached, heat may build up inside the system. To attach or remove screws, use an appropriate crosshead screwdriver. If the size does not match, the groove on the screw's head may be damaged. Notices All hard disks, including a PS3™ system's hard disk, must be reformatted before use in a PS3™ system. It is recommended that you regularly back up data on the hard disk. If for any reason software or data loss or corruption occurs, it may not be possible to restore or repair the software or data. Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and its subsidiaries and affiliates will not be liable for damage or injury related to software or data loss or corruption. You can back up data stored on the hard disk to a USB mass storage device and restore data that has been backed up. For details, see "Backing up data" ( page 36). Improper removal or installation of a hard disk may cause damage to your PS3™ system or loss of data, and may void your PS3™ system's hardware warranty. SCEA shall not be liable for any resulting damages, including any damages to your hard disk. User assumes all risks and liabilities associated with using a replacement hard disk, including any incompatibility or interoperability problems with the PS3™ system. Services will not be provided on any non-PS3™ system hard disks.
