Installing an Internal 3.5-inch Hard Drive

Follow the steps in

Removing an Internal 3.5-inch Hard Drive on page 34

to remove the hard drive

cage and, if necessary, the existing hard drive.

Slide the new drive into the hard disk drive cage (1), aligning the drive with the four screw holes
on the cage. Install the four 6-32 standard screws that secure the hard disk drive to the hard disk
drive cage (2). Make sure the hard disk drive cables are facing the top of the drive cage.

NOTE:

If you are replacing an old drive with a new drive, use the four retainer screws from the

old drive to install the new drive.

NOTE:

If you are installing a second hard drive, use four of the extra standard 6-32 screws that

are installed on the interior of the front bezel. The 6-32 screws are silver. Refer to

Installing

Additional Drives on page 24

for an illustration of the retainer screws location.
