Using the Hard Disk Drive
WARNING: DO NOT replace the hard disk drive by yourself. Refer all servicing to
qualified personnel or your dealer.
Your computer comes with a removable 2.5-inch SATA (serial ATA) hard
disk drive.
You can enable AHCI (Advanced Host Controller Interface), a
programming interface for SATA host controllers. AHCI defines
transactions between the SATA controller and software and enables
advanced performance and usability with SATA. When the SATA AHCI
mode is enabled, your system can support SATA native command
queuing, aggressive power management, and so on.
Select models are equipped with a hard disk heater that automatically
turns on for low temperature operation.
CAUTION:
Make regular backups of your data files from your hard disk drive to USB flash
disks or other storage media.
Never turn off or reset the computer while the hard disk drive in-use indicator
is on.
