Hard Disk Drive
The hard disk drive is used to store your data in the computer. The hard disk can be taken out to accommodate other 2.5" or 1.8"
parallel (PATA) hard disk drives with a height of 9.5 mm.
The hard disk is accessible from the bottom of your computer as seen below. For further details see “Upgrading the Hard Disk
Drive”.

Power Safety
Before attempting to access any of the internal components of your computer please ensure that the machine is not connected to
the AC power, and that the machine is turned off. Also ensure that all peripheral cables, including phone lines, are disconnected
from the computer.
Optical (CD/DVD) Device
There is a bay for a 5.25" optical (CD/DVD) device (9.5mm height). The actual device will depend on the module you purchased (see
“Storage”). The optical device is usually labeled “Drive D:” and may be used as a boot device if properly set in the BIOS (see “Boot
Menu”).
Loading Discs
To insert a CD/DVD, press the open button (1) and carefully place a CD/DVD onto the disc tray with label-side facing up (use just
enough force for the disc to click onto the tray’s spindle). Gently push the CD/DVD tray in until its lock “clicks” and you are ready to
start. The busy indicator (2) will light up while data is being accessed, or while an audio/video CD, or DVD, is playing. If power is
unexpectedly interrupted, insert an object such as a straightened paper clip into the emergency eject hole (3) to open the tray.
Sound Volume Adjustment
How high the sound volume can be set depends on the setting of the volume control within Windows.
Click the Volume icon on the taskbar to check the setting (see “Audio Features”).
