Upgrading the hard disk drive
Upgrading the hard disk drive
You can increase the storage capacity of your computer by
replacing the original, built-in hard disk drive with an optional one.
You can purchase the option from your IBM reseller or IBM
marketing representative.
To replace the hard disk drive, do the following:
1
Power off the computer; then disconnect the AC
Adapter and all cables from the computer, and turn the
computer upside down.
2
Remove the battery pack. ( page 36.)
Replace the hard disk drive only if you upgrade it or
have it repaired. You should not replace it often.
Handling a hard disk drive
Do not drop or apply any shock.
Do not apply pressure to the cover.
Do not touch the connector.
The drive is very sensitive. Incorrect handling can cause
damage and permanent loss of data on the hard disk. Before
removing the hard disk drive, make a backup copy of all the
information on the hard disk. Never remove the drive while the
system is operating, in suspend mode, or in hibernation mode.
