PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU START  
These easy instructions will guide you through the Hard Drive replacement process.

damage to the computer's case.*  
Follow the ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage prevention instructions:  
o Hold parts by the edges, away from exposed circuitry when possible.  
o Do not walk around excessively as this promotes static build-up.  
Before you begin, remove any jewelry you may be wearing to prevent scratches to the surface  
of your notebook computer.*  
The appearance of the electronic components shown in the illustrations may differ from the  
components shipped. This slight difference does not affect the accuracy of these instructions.
