7. Remove the hard disk drive ribbon cable from its socket

on the main system board (near the left side of the
subassembly). Store the cable along with the drive.

Wrap the hard disk drive in its original packing materials
and set it aside. Then carefully arrange the power supply
cable so it does not interfere with any other cables or
mechanisms.

9.

Follow the steps on page 5-43 to replace the computer’s
cover. Then see “Post-installation Setup” on page 5-45
for instructions on configuring your computer for use
without a hard disk drive.

Installing or Removing a Disk Drive in the

Horizontal Position

This section describes how to install or remove a drive in the

lower horizontal drive bay. You can use these same
instructions if you need to install a different diskette drive in
the upper drive bay. (The illustrations show the lower bay.)

If you are installing a second hard disk or diskette drive, you
must install it in the lower horizontal drive bay. If you have a
hard disk drive installed in the vertical mounting position,
remove it before you remove or install a drive in a horizontal

drive bay. See “Removing a Hard Disk From the Vertical

Position” on page B-24.

If you do not need to remove a hard disk drive from the

vertical position (or have already done so), follow the steps

under “Removing the Subassembly,” below. You must

remove the entire subassembly from the computer before you
can access a drive in a horizontal drive bay.
