Upgrading and Maintaining Your VAIO Digital Studio™ Computer

Upgrading and

Maintaining Your VAIO

Digital Studio™

Computer

In the future you may want to increase the functionality of your computer. This

section describes how to open your computer and insert an add-on board, add

memory, replace the lithium battery, and install an additional hard disk drive. For

more information on upgrading your Sony computer, see the computer System

Reference Manual. You can download the System Reference Manual from the

Sony Web site at http://www.sony.com/pcsupport.

Overview

The procedures in this section assume that you are familiar with the general

terminology associated with personal computers and with the regulatory

compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment. Observe

proper safety precautions when you modify your computer. Read “Notes on Use”

in the VAIO Digital Studio™ Computer User Guide before upgrading your Sony

computer.

Always switch the power off before you open the system or connect your

computer to peripheral equipment. Otherwise, damage may occur to the

integrated circuits in your computer.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, add-on cards, and

other components. Follow the procedures described here only at an ESD

workstation. If such a station is not available, do not work in a carpeted area

and do not handle materials that produce or hold static electricity (for

example, cellophane wrappers). Ground yourself by maintaining continuous

contact with an unpainted metal portion of the chassis while performing the

procedure.

Removing the Side Cover

To remove the side cover

1Shut down your computer and turn off all peripheral devices, such as your

printer.

2Unplug your computer and any peripheral devices.

3Locate the tab on the upper right side of the rear panel, and pull it back until

the side cover releases.

4Lift the side cover away from the unit and set aside.

If you remove the side cover immediately after you shut down your computer,

the components may be too hot to touch. Wait until the internal parts of the

system unit cool down before you attempt to remove the side cover.

Removing the Side Cover

Inserting a PCI Add-on Board

Your computer has one open PCI expansion slot, depending on the configuration.

This slot enables you to install an add-on board to expand the functionality of

your system. The length of the add-on board should not exceed 9.05 inches.

To insert an add-on board

1Shut down your computer and turn off all peripheral devices, such as your

printer.

2Unplug your computer and any peripheral devices.

3Remove the side cover as described in “Removing the Side Cover.’’

4Locate the available expansion slot. Remove the screw, and then remove the

slot cover.

✍Add-on board configuration varies by model. Some models, such as Configure-to-

Order (CTO) systems, may contain preinstalled add-on cards.

Make sure you observe the proper safety precautions when you add boards to

your Sony computer. See “Notes on Use” in the VAIO Digital Studio™

Computer User Guide.

Removing the Slot Cover

5Install the add-on board by inserting it into the expansion slot and secure it

with the screw from the expansion slot.

6Attach any internal cables that the board requires (see the manual that came

with the add-on board).

7Replace the side cover as described in “Replacing the Side Cover.’’

8Reconnect all peripheral devices and the power cord, and then turn on the

computer.

Installing an add-on board

Adding Memory

The computer has four available memory slots. For memory upgrades, use only

PC-800 Direct Rambus RIMM modules in pairs. You can purchase additional

memory modules, accessories, and peripheral equipment from your local retailer.

To install memory

1Shut down your computer and turn off all peripheral devices, such as your

printer. Wait for your computer to cool down.

2Unplug your computer and any peripheral devices.

3Remove the side cover as described in “Removing the Side Cover.’’

4Gently place the unit on its side. If necessary, remove any cables, add-on

cards, or other components to access the RIMM slots. You must remove the

power supply before installing the memory modules.

Remove the power supply by following these steps:

❑Remove the screw that secures the power supply to the rear of the

chassis.

❑Pull the tab that latches the power supply to the chassis.

❑Slide the power supply up until the power supply clears the chassis.

❑Rotate the power supply to an upside down position and rest it on top of

the chassis.

5Remove the two Continuous Rambus Inline Memory Modules (CRIMM)

that are already installed in the far ends of each RIMM slots.

Make sure you observe the proper safety precautions when you add RIMMs

to your Sony computer. See “Notes on Use”in the VAIO Digital Studio™

Computer User Guide.

Direct Rambus RIMMs must be upgraded in pairs. Do not leave the second

slot of either bank empty. The second slot must be filled with either RIMM or

CRIMM modules. Use only PC-800 RIMMs.

6Handle the RIMM only by the edges, and remove it from its anti-static

package.

7Locate the notches on the bottom edge of the RIMM.

8Align the module over the banks that originally held the CRIMMs.

9Firmly insert the bottom edge of the RIMM into the bank.

10 Press evenly against the RIMM’s upper corners. The end latches snap into

position automatically.

11 Reinstall the power supply and any add-on cards or components you

removed.

Reinstall the power supply by following these steps:

❑Rotate the power supply to its original position and slide it into the

chassis until the tab snaps into position.

❑Replace the screw that secures the power supply to the rear of the

chassis.

12 Replace the side cover as described in “Replacing the Side Cover.’’

Installing Memory

To avoid damaging the RIMM slot, move the RIMM slot tabs slightly outward

to relieve pressure. The module should click easily into place.

Replacing the Lithium Battery

The lithium battery starts to weaken after several years and the system settings,

such as the date and time stored in CMOS RAM, may become inaccurate. When

this occurs, you need to replace the lithium battery.

To replace the lithium battery

1Write down any changes you have made to the settings in the BIOS Setup

utility. If you have not made any changes to the BIOS settings, proceed to

step 2.

2Shut down your computer and turn off all peripheral devices, such as your

printer.

3Unplug your computer and the peripheral devices.

4Remove the side cover as described in “Removing the Side Cover.’’

5If necessary, remove any cables, add-on cards, or other components to access

the lithium battery.

6Remove the old battery and install the new battery with the plus (+) side up.

Installing a Lithium Battery

Replacing the Lithium Battery

7Replace the side cover as described in “Replacing the Side Cover.’’

There is danger of the battery exploding if it is replaced incorrectly. You must

replace the battery only with a CR2032-type lithium battery. Discard used

batteries according to the instructions in the VAIO Digital Studio™Computer

User Guide.

✍The values stored in the CMOS memory are now reset to the factory default values.

You must run the Setup utility to reset the date, time, passwords, and other changes

you may have made to the BIOS settings. If you do not wish to customize your BIOS

settings, you do not need to run the Setup utility. If you simply wish to reset the date

and time, see Windows Help for instructions.

Installing an Additional Hard Disk Drive

Your computer comes with an available internal bay to hold a second standard

3½-inch hard disk drive. Some models, such as Configure-to-Order (CTO)

systems, may already have a second hard disk drive installed. Your system can

support ATA-33, ATA-66, or ATA-100 hard disk drives. Sony recommends using

an ATA-100 hard disk drive to take full advantage of your system’s features. The

hard disk drive access light blinks when either internal drive is active.

For information on how to install additional drives, see the System Reference

Manual. You can download the System Reference Manual from the Sony Web

site at http://www.sony.com/pcsupport.

To prepare a startup disk

Before you add a second hard disk drive to your computer, Sony recommends

creating a startup floppy disk. To create a startup disk, insert a blank, formatted

floppy disk into your computer’s floppy disk drive and follow these steps:

1From the Start menu, point to Settings, point to Control Panel, and then click

Add/Remove Programs.

2Select the Startup Disk tab and then click Create Disk...

3Click OK. Wait until the system completes the startup disk and click OK to

close the dialog box.

4From the Start menu, select Shutdown and choose the Shutdown option.

Before opening the system unit, save any open files, exit Windows, turn off

the power to the computer and all attached peripherals, and then unplug the

power cord.
