Upgrading and Maintaining Your

VAIO®PCV-J100 Computer

In the future you may want to install additional boards to expand the functionality

of your computer. This section describes how to open your computer and insert

add-in boards, add memory, replace the lithium battery, and install an additional

hard disk drive. For more information on upgrading your Sony computer, see the

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

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

Overview

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

terminology associated with personal computers and withthe safety practices and

regulatory compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment.

Read “Notes on Use” in the VAIO®User Guide before upgrading your Sony

computer.

!Always switch the power off and remove the power cord from the computer 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-in 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 (cellophane wrappers, for

example). Ground yourself by maintaining continuous contact with an unpainted

metal portion of the chassis while performing the procedure.

Removing the sideplate

To remove the sideplate:

1Remove the screw from the mid-right of the metal sideplate.

2Slide the sideplate backward and out.

Inserting an Add-in Board

Your computer has one open PCI expansion slot, enabling you to install add-in

boards to expand the functionality of your system.

!If you remove the sideplate 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 sideplate.

✍Some models, such as Configure-to-Order systems, may already contain installed

add-in cards.

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

your Sony computer. See “Notes on Use” in the VAIO User Guide.

Replacing the Lithium Battery

After several years, when the lithium battery starts to weaken, the system settings

stored in CMOS RAM, such as the date and time, may be wrong. 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. Unplug your computer.

3Remove the sideplate as described on page 3.

4If necessary, remove any cables, add-in cards, or other components to access

the lithium battery.

5Remove the old battery and install the new battery with the plus (+) side up.

Replacing the Lithium Battery

6Replace the sideplate and reinstall the screws, as described on page 16.

!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 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 systems,

may already have a second hard disk drive.) The hard disk drive access light

blinks when either internal drive is active. For information on how to install

additional drives into the external drive, see the computer Reference Manual. You

can download the Reference Manual from the Sony Web site at http:///

www.sony.com/pcsupport.

1Configure the jumpers on the new drive as a slave (see your drive’s

documentation for configuration instructions).

2Remove the sideplate as described on page 3.

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

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

power cord.
