Removing and installing a hard drive

The computer supports up to four easy-swap hard disk drives. Each hard disk is mounted in a carrier that holds a standard 3.5-inch Serial ATA hard drive and connects to a SATA interface on the disk cage backplane.

Aspire G7710’s EasySwap technology allows you to replace hard drives without powering down the system. Easy-swap technology shortens system downtime for changing the hard disk or performing an upgrade.

To remove a hard drive:

1Observe the ESD precautions described on page 48.

2Open the drive bay door.

3Press the HDD carrier latch, then pull the lever and slide the carrier from the chassis.

4Place the HDD carrier on a clean, static-free network surface.
