This section provides instructions on how to replace the secondary hard disk drive.
Important
When you receive a new hard disk drive, you also receive a set of Product
Recovery discs. The set of Product Recovery discs will enable you to restore the
contents of the hard disk to the same state as when your computer was
originally shipped from the factory. For more information on recovering
factory-installed software, refer to “Recovering software” in your User Guide.
To replace the secondary hard disk drive:
1. Remove the computer cover. See “Removing the cover” on page 12.
2. Locate the secondary hard disk drive. See “Drive specifications” on page 20.

6. Pull on the blue handle to release and remove the hard disk drive from the
hard drive cage.

of the bracket enough to slide it free of the hard disk drive.
