Chapter 4 - The HDD Drives

The Two HDD Sockets

Your notebook is equipped with two sets of HDD sockets. These sockets support

industry standard 2.5”/9.5mm SATA-2 Gen1i (1.5Gb/s) hard disk drives. Unless you

are going to install two Windows bootable HDD drives into these sockets, there is

generally no need to distinguish which socket is the primary socket and vice versa.

Below are the three major scenarios:

• One Windows™ bootable HDD drive: You are at your liberty to use either

one of the two sockets. But the primary socket is your preferred choice for the

bootable HDD drive.

• One Windows™ bootable HDD drive and another Windows™ non-bootable

HDD drive: You are at your liberty to use either one of the two sockets for the

bootable HDD drive. Again, the primary socket is your preferred choice for the

bootable HDD drive.

• Both HDD drives are Windows™ bootable: Choose the HDD drive you want

the system to boot up from and have this drive installed on the

primary socket.
