Overview
In the future you may want to install additional boards to expand the functionality of your computer. This section
describes how to open your computer and insert add-in boards, add memory, replace the lithium battery, and install
an additional hard disk drive. For more information on upgrading your Sony computer, see the computer Reference
Manual. You can download the Reference Manual from the Sony web site at
The procedures in this section assume you are familiar with the general terminology associated with personal
computers and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and modifying electronic
equipment. Read "Notes on Use" in the VAIO Consumer Information Guide before upgrading your Sony computer.
! Always switch the power off before you open the system or connect your computer to peripheral equipment;
otherwise, damage may occur to the integrated circuits in your computer.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, add-in cards, and other components. Do the procedures
described here only at an ESD workstation. If such a station is not available, do not work in a carpeted area and do
not handle materials that produce or hold static electricity (cellophane wrappers, for example). Ground yourself by
maintaining continuous contact with an unpainted metal portion of the chassis while performing the procedure.
