ity 2.5 inch IDE hard disk drive where you store or install your com-
puter operating system and all application software programs. The

 You can increase the system’s storage capacity by replacing
the standard hard disk drive with a drive of greater storage
capacity.
 Always turn off your notebook computer first before removing

3. Place the disc on the central spindle and press gently until the
disc clicks into place.
4. Slide the tray back until it clicks shut.
Warning: When the computer is reading from the optical drive, the indicator
light for the DVD-ROM will flash on. Do not attempt to remove the disc while
the indicator light is active.
Warning: Do not insert any foreign objects into the disc tray. Do not force the
tray to open or close manually. When not in use, keep the tray closed to pre-

If you experience difficulty when removing a CD disc, stretch a paper clip
(or use a pin or a thin metal rod) and insert it into the emergency eject hole
located on the bezel: The CD disc tray should eject immediately. This proce-
dure can also be used to remove a CD from the drive when the notebook is
powered off.
