Installing a Hard Drive (Hard Drive Bays 1-4)

CAUTION:

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

safety instructions located in the

Product Information Guide.

CAUTION:

To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from

the electrical outlet before removing the cover.

1 Unpack the replacement hard drive, and prepare it for installation.
2 Check the documentation for the hard drive to verify that the drive is

configured for your computer.

NOTE:

If a hard-drive bracket is still installed in the inside of the hard-drive bay,

remove the bracket before you install the new hard drive.

3 If your replacement hard drive does not have the hard-drive bracket

attached, remove the bracket from the old drive by unsnapping it from the

drive. Snap the bracket onto the new drive.

4 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 139.

CAUTION:

Your computer is heavy (it has an approximate minimum weight of 55

lbs) and can be difficult to maneuver. Seek assistance before attempting to lift,
move, or tilt it; this computer requires a two-man lift. Always lift correctly to avoid
injury; avoid bending over while lifting. See your

Product Information Guide for

other important safety information.
