This section provides instructions on how to replace the hard disk drive.
Important
When you receive a new hard disk drive, you also receive a set of Product
Recovery CDs. The set of Product Recovery CDs 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 hard disk drive, do the following:
1. Open the computer cover. See “Opening the cover” on page 5.
2. Pivot the drive bay assembly upward to gain access to the system board.
3. If an optical drive is installed, disconnect the signal cable from the drive to
access the hard disk drive cables.
4. Disconnect the signal and power cables from the rear of the hard disk drive.
