Notes on Removable Hard Disk Drive
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the hard disk drive and related components. Sony cannot
guarantee the hard disk drive against any damage caused by its removal from the drive bay, or from
any mishandling of the unit resulting in ph ysical damage. If removing the hard disk drive, take care
not to expose it to ESD or static electricity.
The hard drive is sensitive to shock and mishandling; therefore, it is important to handle the hard disk
drive by its edges, avoid applying pressure or squeezing the top of the hard drive case, and avoid
dropping it.
Before you remove the hard disk drive, close open programs, and shut down the notebook; disconnect
the computer and peripheral devices from electrical outlets; and remove the battery.
