Hard Drive Replacement
NOTICE: To avoid possibly damaging the drive by ESD, ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the
back of the computer.
NOTICE: When you unpack the drive, do not set it on a hard surface, which may damage the drive. Instead, set the
drive on a surface, such as a foam pad, that will sufficiently cushion it.
1. If the replacement drive does not have the bracket rails attached, remove the rails from the old drive by removing the
two screws that secure each rail to the drive.
2. Reinstall the hard drive in the computer by gently sliding the drive into place until you hear it securely click.
3. Connect the power and hard-drive data cables to the drive.
4. On the small desktop computer, replace the hard-drive shroud by inserting the two tabs on the bottom into the holes in
the computer and snapping the top into place.
