Upgrading and Installing Mass Storage Devices

Installing a Second Hard Disk Drive

CAUTION

Handle the hard disk drive with care. Avoid shocks and violent
movement as this can cause damage to the hard disk drive’s internal
components.

Make sure that you back up your files before you install a hard disk
drive. Refer to your operating system documentation for information on
how to do this.

You can install a second hard disk drive in the lower front shelf of your
desktop PC.

1 Remove the computer’s cover (described in this chapter).

2 If there is already a drive installed in the front bay, remove its power

and data connectors (so that you can remove the drive bay).

3 Pull out the sliding latch

and remove the drive bay

.

4 Align the new device in the bay (with the correct orientation) and

secure it with the screws provided.
