Chapter 2. Installation
This chapter contains hardware and software installation instructions and operating information for the
Super Multi-Burner Drive (Serial ATA).
Installing the drive
Complete the following steps to install the drive:
Step 1. Opening the computer
1. Turn off the computer and all attached devices.
2. Unplug all power cords from the computer and all attached devices.
3. Lift the cover from the computer. Refer to your computer documentation for instructions on removing
the computer cover.
Step 2. Unpacking the drive
1. Before opening the antistatic bag that the drive is packed in, touch the bag to an unpainted metal
surface for at least two seconds. This drains the static electricity from the package and your body.
2. Remove the drive from the bag.
If you must put the drive down, place the antistatic bag on a flat, padded surface, and place the drive
on the antistatic bag.
Step 3 Mounting the drive in the bay
Attention
Be sure to use the M3 x 5-mm mounting screws in the option package when securing screws
directly into the drive. Using screws that are too long might damage the drive.
You can mount the drive horizontally or vertically in the computer. If you mount the drive vertically, you
must secure any discs that you place into the drive before the drive tray is closed, or the drive will not be
able to read the disc properly.
1. Slide the drive into the bay. Your computer might have required procedures for installing storage
devices. For more information on storage devices, refer to the documentation that comes with your
computer.
2. Align the drive-bay screw holes with the threaded holes in the drive housing or mounting bracket.
3. Thread the screws in loosely to check their position. Two screws are usually used on each side. Verify
that the alignment is correct; then tighten the screws to secure the drive. Do not overtighten.
