Removing and Replacing Your Hard Disk Drive

Your SA200’s modular architecture enables you to replace the hard disk drive. The drive unit is located in a special, removable compartment. Refer to your laptop dealer for details on obtaining another hard disk drive.

To remove or replace the hard disk drive, follow these steps:

1.After you have saved your data, turn your laptop off.

Never insert or remove the hard disk drive compartment while your system is turned on! Otherwise, you will seriously damage your hard drive!

When your hard disk drive is removed from the laptop, always store it in a safe environment free from magnetic fields!

2.Place the SA200 on a flat surface.

3.Locate the hard disk drive compartment release. See Figure 5 on page 10 and Figure 21 on page 56 for details.

4.Press the release tab and slide it outward.

5.Using the pull loop at the end of the hard disk drive module, carefully pull out the hard disk drive from the compartment bay.

6.With the label facing up, insert the new hard disk drive into the hard disk drive compartment until it clicks in place.

7.Turn your laptop on.

8.Press <F2> while the laptop is running through its Power On Self Test (POST). This accesses the BIOS Setup program.

9.Use the Main menu to configure the new hard disk drive. See “Main Menu” on page 88 for more information.
