Before you begin
Before installing the drive, carefully read the following precautions:
• The drive is shipped with a static-protective package. Do not open the package until you are ready to
install the drive.
• Limit your movement when installing the drive. Movement can cause static electricity to build up
around you.
• Carefully handle the drive. Shaking or dropping the drive might damage the components inside the drive.
Installing the drive
To install the drive, do the following:
1. Turn off the computer, and then disconnect the ac power adapter. Remove the battery and all cables
from the computer.
2. Remove the old drive. For instructions on how to remove the drive, see the User Guide that comes
with your ThinkPad computer.
3. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new drive to any unpainted surface for at least
two seconds. Then, take the new drive out of the package.
4. Install the new drive into the drive bay. For instructions on how to install the drive, see the User Guide
that comes with your ThinkPad computer.

Guide Disc. For detailed software information, see "Software description" on page 2.
To install the software, do the following:
1. Save any open documents and exit all applications.
2. Insert the Software and User Guide Disc and do one of the following:
• If the disc starts automatically, go to step 3.
