Installing a Second Hard Drive

CAUTION:

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

safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.

To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from

the electrical outlet before removing the cover.

To avoid damage to the drive, do not set it on a hard surface. Instead, set

the drive on a surface, such as a foam pad, that will sufficiently cushion it.

NOTE:

For additional drives, extra screws are not shipped during initial purchase of

the computer, but are shipped with the additional drives.
