Replacing or Adding a Hard Drive in a Desktop Computer

NOTE:

This procedure assumes that you have completed the removal procedure

first.

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

your computer.

CAUTION:

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.

2 Unpack the replacement hard drive, and prepare it for installation.
3 If your replacement hard drive does not have the plastic hard-drive bracket

attached, install the new drive in the existing bracket (see "Hard Drive

Bracket — Desktop Computer" on page 79) .

4 Connect the power and data cables to the drive.
