6200 Series Notebook PC

2.5 The Hard Disk Drive

Your computer is equipped with a 2.5-inch IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) hard disk drive. The hard disk drive is a storage device with much higher speed and larger capacity than other storage devices, such as the floppy disk drive and optical storage devices. Therefore, it is usually used to install the operating system and software applications.

The hard disk drive is a non-removable storage device in your computer. However, you can upgrade it by replacing a lager capacity hard disk drive. To do so, please refer to Upgrading Your System in Chapter 6.

1.To avoid unexpected data loss in your system, please backup your critical files regularly.

2.Do not turn off the computer when the Hard Disk In-use LED is on.

3.Do not remove or install the hard disk drive when the computer is turned on. The replacement of hard disk drive should be done by an authorized retailer or service representative.
