Prepare the drive for installation.
Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the back of the computer, unpack the drive, and compare the jumper and switch settings

termination [if required].) Change any settings necessary for this system's configuration.
If the drive does not already have drive rails attached, attach a drive rail to each side of the drive and secure each drive rail to the drive with a screw in
each of the lower slotted screw holes on the drive rail.

Remove the front bezel (see "
Removing the Front Bezel
