You can increase the storage capacity of your computer by replacing the hard disk drive with 
one of greater capacity. You can purchase a new hard disk drive from your reseller or Lenovo 
marketing representative.
The drive is very sensitive. Incorrect handling can cause damage and permanent loss of data on 
the hard disk. Before removing the hard disk drive, make a backup copy of all the information 
on the hard disk, and then turn the computer off. Never remove the drive while the system is 
operating, in sleep mode, or in hibernation mode. 
Notes:
Replace the hard disk drive only if you upgrade it or have it repaired. The connectors and bay of the hard 
disk drive were not designed for frequent changes, or drive swapping.
The preinstalled software are not included on an optional hard disk drive.
Handling a hard disk drive
Do not drop the drive or subject it to physical shocks. Put the drive on a material, such as 
soft cloth, that absorbs the physical shock.
Do not apply pressure to the cover of the drive. 
Do not touch the connector.

You can increase the amount of memory in your computer by installing a double-data-rate three 
synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR3 SDRAM)-available as an option-in the 
memory slot of your computer. DDR3 SDRAMs are available in various capacities.
 To install a DDR3 SDRAM, do the following: 
1Touch a metal table or a grounded metal object to reduce any static electricity in your body, 
which could damage the DDR3 SDRAM. Do not touch the contact edge of the DDR3 
SDRAM. 
2Turn off the computer. Disconnect the AC adapter and all cables from the computer.
3Close the computer display, and turn the computer over.
