Installing a Hard Drive

 

1.

Check the documentation for the drive to verify that it is configured for your computer.

 

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, remove the bracket from the existing drive by unsnapping it from
the drive.

 

4.

Attach the bracket to the new drive by snapping it onto the drive.

 

5.

Connect the power and hard-drive cables to the drive.

 

6.

Locate the correct slot for the drive, and slide the drive into the bay until it clicks into place.

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.
