Connect the new drive to the set of rails that are attached to the inside of the cover. If
a set of rails is not attached inside the computer cover, contact Dell (see page 129).

If you are installing a replacement drive and the new drive does not have the bracket
rails attached, remove the rails from the old drive by removing the two screws that
secure each rail to the drive. Attach the bracket to the new drive by aligning the screw
holes on the drive with the screw holes on the bracket rails and then inserting and
tightening all four screws (two screws on each rail). See the diagram on page 98).

Gently slide the drive into place until the tabs securely click into position.
