Installing the Hard Disk Drive

Your computer is equipped with open internal bays to hold additional 3.5-inch hard disk drives.

Review the manufacturer's information provided with your new hard disk drive before attempting to install it in the computer.

✍

Certain models may already have additional hard disk drives installed that support the Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) technology.

The installation information provided in this section may not apply if you have purchased a model that supports RAID.

The entire repair cost will be charged if there is a failure or accident arising from installation of a hard disk by yourself.

Hard disk installation requires great care. Improper installation or removal will cause a malfunction of your computer.

If you need assistance to install a hard disk, contact VAIO-Link.

Be sure to avoid accidental disconnection of the internal cables of your computer during hard disk installation.

Be sure to avoid injury during hard disk installation as your computer contains components and circuit boards with sharp corners and edges.

If you leave a foreign object, for example a screw, inside your computer during hard disk installation, turning on the computer may cause to produce 

fumes. Be sure to remove the object and replace the top cover before turning on your computer.

Do not touch the electronic components on the internal circuit board of your computer to avoid a malfunction as they are susceptible to external 

pressure and static electricity.

The drive bay size of your computer is 3.5 inches.

Some hard disks are not compatible with your computer. Contact the manufacturer of your hard disk for compatibility with VAIO computers.

There may be some limitations on video import from i.LINK devices, depending on your hard disk.
