Notes on installing the IDE device
❑ Be careful when installing an IDE device. Improper installation of the device may cause damage to your system. This
damage may void your manufacturer's warranty. If you have any questions about installing the IDE device, visit the Sony
online support Web site.
❑ Keep any foreign objects, for example metal objects, out of the computer. If such an object enters and remains in the
chassis when you install an IDE device, turning on the computer may cause fumes. Make sure to remove foreign objects,
if any, and replace the covers and panels before you turn on the computer.
❑ Keep your hand away from electronic components on the internal boards of the computer. Some components are
sensitive to external force and static electricity and easy to fail.
❑ Make sure to configure the IDE device as Slave. For detailed instructions, see the manual that came with your IDE device.
❑ Some IDE devices may not be compatible. Ask the dealer or manufacturer of your IDE device for compatibility with the
VAIO computer.
❑ Installation of the IDE device must be carried out at your own risk. Sony Corporation assumes no liability for any defects
of the computer arising out of your installation of the IDE device and a fee will be charged for such repair.
