Removal Procedure
1. Unplug the ac adapter, if present, and remove the battery.
2. Remove the two screws from the bottom of the hard drive.
3. Pull out the hard drive.
Caution
Work the connector off the hard drive evenly, without pulling on the flex cable. Otherwise, you
may bend connector pins on the hard drive or damage the flex cable.
4. If you are installing a new hard drive that does not have a plastic case, you can remove the case
from the old hard drive:
• Remove the four screws from the sides of the case.
• Remove the shield from the drive and swing out the free end of the hard drive about 90°, then
gently pry off the connector from the hard drive. The OmniBook 3000 may not have a shield.
