Removing a Hard Disk Drive From the Internal

Drive Bay

To remove a hard disk drive, reverse the installation steps

outlined above. Then disconnect the hard disk drive ribbon

cable and the power supply cable from the back of the drive.

When you disconnect the cables, grasp the connectors and pull

them straight out so you do not bend the pins; do not pull on

the cables. Use the screws to again secure the hard disk drive

mounting bracket to the base of the computer.

Installing a Drive in the Upper Horizontal Drive Buy

Your system comes with a 3.5-inch diskette drive installed in

the lower horizontal drive bay. You can also install a diskette

drive, a CD-ROM, a tape drive, or a second hard disk drive in

the upper horizontal drive bay.

If you are installing a tape drive with a standard 5.25-inch

diskette drive connector, you can connect it using the diskette

drive cable that came with your system. If you install a second

hard disk drive in this bay, make sure you purchase the

appropriate cable to connect both drives to the hard disk drive

connector.

Before you install a drive in the upper drive bay, remove the

cover. Once you have the drive installed, replace the cover,

following the instructions in Chapter 3.
