Replacing the hard drive

If you would like more hard drive capacity, you can replace your original drive with a higher-capacity drive.

To replace the hard drive:

1 Follow the instructions under “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 254 for important precautions.

2 Shut down your notebook, then disconnect the power adapter and modem and network cables.

3 Turn your notebook over, then remove the battery. For more information, see “Changing batteries” on page 133.

Warning

Disconnect the power adapter, disconnect the modem and network cables, and remove the battery before you remove the hard drive. Replace the hard drive before you restore power or reconnect the modem and network cables.
