Part 1. Using the ThinkPad 600 UltraslimBay HDD Adapter

The ThinkPad 600 UltraslimBay HDD Adapter (hereafter called HDD Adapter) supports the ThinkPad 600 series computer. You can

upgrade the capacity of your computer by installing a secondary hard disk drive.

To install the hard disk drive (hereafter called HDD) into your computer, you must first assemble the HDD with the HDD Adapter. Then you insert the HDD Adapter into the UltraslimBay.

If you are using one of the following ThinkPad 600 computer models, you need to update the system program:
