Installing a Hard Drive

1 Unpack the replacement hard drive, and prepare it for installation.
2 Check the documentation for the drive to verify that it is configured for your computer.

NOTE:

If your replacement hard drive does not have the plastic guide bracket attached, remove the

bracket from the old drive by unsnapping it from the drive. Snap the bracket onto the new drive.

3 Connect the power and hard-drive cables to the drive.

4 Check all connectors to be certain that they are properly cabled and firmly seated.
