Installing the Drive

Before installing the drive, please note the following points.
■ You will need the following:

• A screw driver of a suitable size to fit the securing screws for the drive unit.
• The manual for the computer, so you can find the mounting positions for the

SATA cable.

■ Turn off all peripheral appliances of the computer and the computer itself, and

disconnect their power cords from the wall sockets.

■ Discharge any static electricity on your person by touching the computer covers, etc.

Removing the Computer Cover

Make sure all peripheral devices of the computer and the computer itself are turned
off, and then remove the cover. Refer to the manual for the computer for details about
removing the cover.

NOTE : There may be sharp edges inside the computer so take care to avoid injury.

Mounting the Drive

″ drive bay panel from the computer. Refer to the manual for the
