Replacing an internal hard drive
CAUTION: To prevent loss of work and damage to the workstation or drive:
If you are inserting or removing a hard drive, shut down the operating system properly, then turn off the
workstation. Do not remove a hard drive while the workstation is on or in standby mode.
Before handling a drive, ensure that you are discharged of static electricity. While handling a drive, avoid
touching the connector. Refer to Electrostatic discharge information on page 52 for more information about
preventing electrostatic damage.
Handle a drive carefully; do not drop it.
Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive.
Avoid exposing a hard drive to liquids, temperature extremes, or products that have magnetic fields such
as monitors or speakers.
1 . Remove any removable media, such as a compact disc or diskette, from the drive.
2 . Prepare the workstation for disassembly ( Preparation for disassembly on page 59 ).
3 . Remove the access panel and rotate the workstation so the system board is parallel to the table to
make it easier to work on ( Access panel on page 61 ).
4 . Remove the front bezel ( Front bezel on page 62 ).
5 . Disconnect the power (1) and data (2) cables from the back of the drive.
