Removing and Installing Parts

9 Check all connectors to be certain that they are properly cabled and

firmly seated.

10 Replace the computer cover (see "Replacing the Computer Cover" on

page 172).

NOTICE:

To connect a network cable, first plug the cable in to the network wall

jack and then plug the cable into the computer.

11 Connect your computer and devices to electrical outlets, and then turn

them on.

12 If installing this drive changes the drive configuration, then be sure to

reflect these changes in the BIOS. When you restart your computer, enter
system setup (see "System Setup" on page 178). On the setup screen go to
the "Drives" section and set the SATA ports (

SATA 0 through 4

)to the

correct configuration.

about installing any software required for the operation of the hard drive.

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

safety instructions in the Product Information Guide.

CAUTION:

To guard against electrical shock, always unplug your computer from

the electrical outlet before opening the cover.

NOTICE:

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:

It is recommended that you connect the primary hard drive on your system

to the connector labeled SATA0 on the system board. Connect additional hard drives
to connectors labeled SATA1 and SATA2.

1 Check the documentation for the drive to verify that it is configured for

your computer.

2 Follow the procedures in "Before You Begin" on page 99.
3 Remove the computer cover (see "Removing the Computer Cover" on

page 101).
