• Replace the internal storage drive only for repair. The internal storage drive is not designed for frequent
changes or replacement.
• Before replacing the internal storage drive, make a backup copy of all the data that you want to keep.
• Do not touch the contact edge of the internal storage drive. Otherwise, the internal storage drive might get
damaged.
• Do not apply pressure to the internal storage drive.
• Do not make the internal storage drive subject to physical shocks or vibration. Put the internal storage
drive on a soft material, such as cloth, to absorb physical shocks.
You can install or replace a storage drive with a storage box in the flex module. The storage drive can be hot-
swappable, which means that you can install or replace the drive without even turning off your computer.
Therefore, lock the storage drive to prevent the unexpected removal. The keys are attached to the rear of the
computer. Store the keys in a secure place.
Attention: The storage drive in the flex module is hot-swappable only when the operating system of your
computer does not reside on the storage drive installed in the flex module. If the requirement is not met, do
not remove or install the storage drive when the computer is turned on. Otherwise, data on the storage drive
might get damaged.
For access, do the following:
1. Remove any media from the drives and turn off all connected devices and the computer.
2. Disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables from the computer.
Removal steps
You might need to use the key attached at the rear of the computer to unlock the flex module.
