Disassembly

MODULE DISASSEMBLY: HDD MODULE

We are not including specific instructions for the CD device (CD-ROM/DVD-ROM/CD-RW) and the FDD

device (FDD/LS-120). If any upgrade or replacement is required, the entire module should be replaced.

If for some reason a specific part must be replaced, refer to the “exploded” drawings in Appendix A for the

position and part number.

REMOVING THE HDD MODULE

A detailed description of how to disassemble this module is included in the User’s Manual Chapter 6: Extras.

We strongly recommend reviewing that document. It includes information on how to setup the hard disk for

use. Those instructions may be more current than those provided here.

The section which follows is “lifted” from the 1st edition of the User’s Manual.

1. Make sure the computer is turned OFF.

2. Open the HDD bay door.

3. Unfurl the mylar pull-tab and use it to pull the HDD module out.

Removal Warning

Don’t try to remove the hard

disk (HDD) while the system

is ON. This will make the

system “crash”, resulting in

data loss or damage.
