Removing and Installing Parts
4 Press in on the two plastic securing clips on each side of the drive and slide the drive towards the back
of the computer.
NOTICE:
Do not pull the drive out of the computer by the drive cables. Doing so may cause damage to cables and
the cable connectors.
5 Lift the drive out of the computer and disconnect the power and hard-drive cables from the drive.
Installing a Hard Drive
1 Check the documentation for the drive to verify that it is configured for your computer.
NOTICE:
To avoid damage to the drive, do not set it on a hard surface. Instead, set the drive on a surface, such as
a foam pad, that will sufficiently cushion it.
2 Unpack the replacement hard drive, and prepare it for installation.
3 If your replacement hard drive does not have the plastic hard-drive bracket attached, remove the
bracket from the existing drive by unsnapping it from the drive.
