5 Installing an Internal Hard Disk

This section explains how to replace the standard internal hard disk with one having more capacity or install a second internal hard disk.

■Notes on handling the hard disk

To prevent faults, note the following when handling the hard disk.

•Data is read from the hard disk or written to it while the internal disk that stores data is rotating at high speeds. Since it is a very delicate device, do not carry the PC with the power on or do not apply shock or vibration to the PC.

•Do not use or store the hard disk in an area where temperature changes sharply in an extremely wide range.

•Do not place the hard disk in an area exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater.

•Do not use or store the hard disk in an area subjected to shock or vibration.

•Do not use or store the hard disk in a humid or dusty area.

•Do not use or store the hard disk near a magnet or device that generates a strong magnetic field.

•Do not disassemble or break down the hard disk.

•Keep the hard disk free from condensation or moisture.

￿Point

•Improper handling may damage the data stored on the disk. Always make backup copies of important data.

•Even hard disks of the same type have different capacities. It is recommended the you back up data not in units of hard disks but in units of files or partitions.

■Installing a disk in the internal hard disk bay

1Set the jumper switch.

When installing the first disk, refer to the manual for the internal hard disk and make sure that the jumper switch is set to Master or Cable-Select. When installing the second one, set the switch to Slave or Cable-Select.
