The easiest way to install your drive

Many of today’s mobile computers have been designed to make it possible for the end user to replace the hard drive. Refer to your system’s user manual for the location of the hard drive compartment and the specific instructions regarding replacement.

Some mobile systems are sealed and require specialized tools to gain access to the hard drive.

Caution. Special training or tools may be needed to service some mobile computers. In some cases, opening the case may void your war- ranty. Consult your system documentation.

Seagate recommends taking your system to an authorized service techni- cian to replace your hard drive.

Refer to your system manufacturer’s support website for the most up-to- date information. Read and follow all instructions regarding the proper steps to be taken when replacing the systems hard drive.

What you need

•A Phillips screwdriver

•Existing drive mounting screws (reuse)

•Existing drive mounting framework, cage or tray (reuse)

•ATA interface adapter (built into notebook and laptop systems)

Handling precautions/electrostatic discharge protection

•Disc drives are fragile. Do not drop or jar the drive. Handle the drive only by the edges or frame. Keep the drive in the electrostatic discharge (ESD) bag until you are ready to install it to minimize handling damage.

•Drive electronics are extremely sensitive to static electricity. While installing the drive, wear a wrist strap and cable connected to ground.

•Turn off the power to the host system during installation.

•Do not disassemble the drive. Doing so voids the warranty. See the war- ranty information on page 2.

•Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the circuit board or to the top of the drive.

Drive mounting

You can mount the drive using four screws in the side-mounting holes or four screws in the bottom-mounting holes. See Figure 2 for drive mounting dimensions. Follow these important mounting precautions when mounting the drive:

•Allow a minimum clearance of 0.030 inches (0.76 mm) around the entire perimeter of the drive for cooling.

•Use only M3 x 0.5 mounting screws.

•Gently tighten the mounting screws (maximum torque: 4.0 in-lb).

•Four (4) threads (0.080 inches) minimum screw engagement recom- mended.
