HDD Removal/Installation

NOTE:

- Check any official Honda service web site for more service information about the navigation system.
- Static electricity can damage the HDD. Always follow proper handling procedures.
- Always use the anti-static mat (ESD) and wrist strap when removing the HDD. Before you open the audio-navigation unit or handle the replacement HDD, attach the wrist strap around one of your wrists, and attach the alligator clip to the ESD mat.
- Make sure you use the screws in the same holes. The HDD can be damaged if the wrong screws are used.
- You do not have to peel off the plastic cover to remove the screws or the HDD.
- Do not force the HDD. If it does not slide in smoothly, check the alignment of the HDD and the pins. If the pins are bent, replace the HDD.
- Make sure the HDD screws are not loose. If they are, the HDD can be damaged.
- Handle the HDD by its edges. Do not touch the pins.
