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.
Check the documentation for the drive to verify that it is configured for your computer system.
3. Remove the computer cover .
4. Remove the drive bracket from the chassis.
