HDD Kit (Serial-ATA)
An extra hard disk drive expands the flexibility of your system and allows
you to carry your data separately without having to carry the computer.
The HDD Kit (Serial-ATA) can either replace the hard disk drive installed
inside the computer or be connected to the Ultra Slim Bay HDD Adaptor II.
Some models are equipped with a Ultra Slim Bay HDD Adaptor II.
Removing the hard disk drive pack
To remove the hard disk drive pack, follow the steps as detailed below:
1. Set the computer to Boot Mode and turn its power off - make sure the
Power indicator is off (refer to the Turning off the power section in
Chapter 1, Getting Started if required).
2. Remove the AC adaptor and all cables and peripherals connected to
the computer.
3. Close the display panel.
4. Turn the computer upside down and remove the battery pack (refer to
Replacing the battery pack section in Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up
Modes, if required).
5. Loosen two screws securing the hard disk drive cover in place.
Use a point size 1 Phillips screwdriver to remove and fasten the screws -
the use of an incorrect screwdriver can damage the screw heads.
Always make sure the display panel is closed in Laptop mode before
turning the computer upside down.
