Removing the Internal Hard Disk

When the computer is shut down, you can remove the internal hard disk for maintenance or as a security measure.

1Shut down your computer. Disconnect the power adapter, phone cord, and any other cables connected to the computer.

2Place a towel or soft cloth on a table in front of you.

The towel or cloth protects the keyboard and display of the PowerBook when you flip it over. Make sure that the towel covers an area large enough for your PowerBook and that it hangs over the edge of the table.

3With the display open, carefully flip the PowerBook over and rest it on the edge of a table. Make sure the weight of the computer is on the table and not on the display.
