Adding a Second Hard Drive

CAUTION:

Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the

Product Information Guide.

CAUTION:

To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from the electrical outlet

before opening the cover.

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.

1 Check the documentation for the drive to verify that it is configured for your computer.
2 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 63.
3 Press in on the tabs on each side of the hard drive bracket in the empty drive bay and slide the

bracket up and out.

4 Snap the hard drive bracket onto the new hard drive.

NOTICE:

Do not install any drive into the lower hard-drive bay until you have removed the hard drive

bracket from the inside of the hard drive bay.

5 Slide the new hard drive into empty bay until you feel a click.

NOTE:

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

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