Replacing the solid state drive
You can replace the solid state drive with a new one which can be purchased from your Lenovo reseller or a
marketing representative. Read the following prerequisites before you replace the solid state drive.
Note: Replace the solid state drive only if you need to have it repaired. The connectors and slot of the solid
state drive were not designed for frequent changes, or drive swapping.
Prerequisites for the procedure
When replacing the drive, be sure to follow the precautions.
Attention:
• Do not drop the solid state drive or subject it to physical shocks. Put the drive on a material, such
as soft cloth, that absorbs any physical shocks.
• Do not apply pressure to the cover of the drive.
• Do not touch the connector.
The drive is very sensitive. Incorrect handling can cause damage and permanent loss of data.
Before removing the solid state drive, make a backup copy of all the information on it, and then turn the
computer off.
Never remove the drive while the system is operating, in sleep (standby) mode, or in hibernation mode.
