Attention
Handling a hard disk drive
v Do not drop the drive or subject it to physical shocks. Put the drive on
a material, such as soft cloth, that absorbs the physical shock.

v 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, and
then turn the computer off. Never remove the drive while the system is
operating, in standby mode, or in hibernation mode.
To replace the hard disk drive, do the following:
1. Turn off the computer; then disconnect the ac adapter and all cables
from the computer.
2. Close the computer display, and turn the computer over.
3. Remove the battery.
