5.1Installation considerations

Many of today’s mobile computers have been designed to make it possible for the end user to replace the hard drive. Refer to your system’s user manual for the location of the hard drive compartment and the specific instructions regarding replacement. Refer to your system manufacturer’s support website for the most up-to- date information. Read and follow all instructions regarding the proper steps to be taken when replacing the system hard drive.

Some mobile systems are sealed and require specialized tools to gain access to the hard drive. Special train- ing or tools may be needed to service some mobile computers. In some cases, opening the case may void your warranty. Consult your system documentation. Seagate recommends taking your system to an authorized service technician to replace your hard drive.
