Installing a Hard Drive

CAUTION:

To avoid the possibility of electric shock, turn off the

computer and any devices, disconnect them from electrical

outlets, and then wait 10 to 20 seconds before you open the
computer cover. Also, before you install a drive, see the other
precautions in “

Safety First—For You and Your Computer

.”

NOTICE:

Ground yourself by touching an unpainted metal surface on the

back of the computer.

NOTICE:

When you unpack the drive, do not set it on a hard surface, which

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

1

Unpack the drive, and prepare it for installation.

2

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

for your computer.
