Replacing the internal storage drive

Before you start, print these instructions. Read the important safety information first. See "Important
safety information" on page vi.
Attention: The internal storage drive (hard disk drive, solid-state drive, or hybrid drive) is very sensitive.
Incorrect handling can cause damage and permanent loss of data. Observe the following guidelines:
• Replace the storage drive only if you upgrade it or have it repaired. The connectors and slot of the storage
drive are not designed for frequent changes or drive swapping.
• Do not drop the drive or subject it to physical shocks. Put the drive on a material, such as soft cloth, that
absorbs any physical shocks.
• Do not apply pressure to the cover of the drive.
• Do not touch the connector.
• Before removing the storage drive, make a backup copy of all the information on it, and then turn off the
computer.
• Never remove the drive while the computer is operating, in sleep mode, or in hibernation mode.
