2-16 Operating Your Computer
Using the Hard Disk Drive
Your computer comes with a removable 2.5-inch PATA (parallel ATA) / SATA
(serial ATA) hard disk drive.
Select models come with a 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 try to remove or install the hard disk drive while the computer is
powered on. Doing so can result in loss of data, and can damage the
computer and the hard disk drive’s sensitive circuitry.
 Never turn off or reset the computer while the hard disk drive in-use indicator
is on.

You can install a second hard disk drive to your computer. To install a second
hard disk drive:
1. Make sure that system power is off.
2. Open the media bay cover by sliding the release latch towards the left.
