Mazak Fusion 640 Series How to Replace the HDD

Overview
The following procedure will list the files that we need to copy when doing a Hard Drive to Solid State
drive replacement. This procedure can be used when doing a Windows 2000 upgrade or when replacing
a defective hard drive. Keep in mind that you need an adapter that is compatible with Solid State drives
to prevent corrupting it or you can use the PCMCIA located on the back of the control (if available).

Tools Needed
 IDE/Sata to USB adapter (compatible with Solid State Drives)
 PCMCIA card with adapter (Max. 2GB)
 Laptop

Instructions
I. Backup data
A. Backup thru PCMCIA back slot
o Insert CF card in the back of the HR841 slot located on the back on the NC control

o If no HR841 for PCMCIA is available go to I step B
