Installing a Hard Drive

CAUTION:

Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system

cover and access any of the components inside the system. Before performing any
procedure, see your Product Information Guide for complete information about
safety precautions, working inside the computer and protecting against
electrostatic discharge.

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 system.

3 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system

from the electrical outlet.

4 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 47.
5 If you are replacing a hard drive, remove the drive that you are replacing

(see "Removing a Hard Drive" on page 64).

If there is a hard-drive bracket in the empty hard-drive bay, remove the
bracket by pressing the two tabs toward each other and pulling it up and
out of the drive bay.

If a replacement hard drive does not have the hard-drive bracket attached,
remove the bracket from the old drive.

6 Snap the new drive into the guide bracket. See Figure 3-15.
7 Insert the guide bracket assembly into the drive bay until it snaps into

place. See Figure 3-14.
