Replacing a Drive

ÄCAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to the computer or drive:

If you are inserting or removing a hard drive, shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the computer. Do not remove a hard drive while the computer is on or in standby mode.

Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid touching the connector. For more information about preventing electrostatic damage, refer to Appendix D, “Electrostatic Discharge.”

Handle a drive carefully; do not drop it.

Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive.

Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or products that have magnetic fields such as monitors or speakers.

Only a serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) hard drive can be installed on this computer. If you are installing a hard drive in your computer for the first time, refer to “Configuring the SATA Hard Drive” on page 2-25for information.

Make sure to back up the data on the old hard drive before removing it so that you can install the data onto the new hard drive.
